Lethean Tears Lyrics

As time goes by

All eventually

Comes full circle

Just turning end for end

Where benightedness

Tip the scales

And once the fire

Has been lit

The mind's eye closes anew

Through endless ages

Ever lapsing into old ways



A denied tomorrow

Calling on yesterday

Headway in reverse

Only shadows reach

The light of day



Another sun

Now sets within

On the torn apart

Not to be found

Again therein

Bleeding fry the heart

Once more a dawn

Now wearing thin

Broken work of art

A can of worms

Incisive burns

Of the dark



Whatever comes now

Nothing but a

Reflecting bygone

Restored continuum

And the tide

is on the turn



A denied tomorrow

Calling on yesterday

Headway in reverse

Only shadows reach

The light of day



Another sun

Now sets within

On the torn apart

Not to be found

Again therein

Bleeding fry the heart

Once more a dawn

Now wearing thin

Broken work of art

A can of worms

Incisive burns

Of the dark



Ruins

Laid in without cause

Sourceless call

For silence

Self-supporting fear

unaware abidance

Firm like ropes of sand

Past that go for nothing

Come lethean tears



Another sun

Now sets within

On the torn apart

Not to be found

Again therein

Bleeding fry the heart

Once more a dawn

Now wearing thin

Broken work of art

A can of worms

Incisive burns

Of the dark



Another sun

Now sets within

On the torn apart

Not to be found

Again therein

Bleeding fry the heart

Once more a dawn

Now wearing thin

Broken work of art

A can of worms

Incisive burns

Of the dark
