Coronach Songtext

von Eternal Tears of Sorrow

Alone with the questions
An outcast for many years
He has seen those marble archways
And the avenue of crimson tears
Now shadows are staring at him
But he turns his face away
They remind him of his true self
Gone with the first winter day

Yesterday's like a dream
And tomorrow's like a mirage
When's the time to get eternal rest?
When's the endless roaming over?

His frequent groans were only
Silent whispers in the whirlwind
He ended up in this timeless race
Just for his father's sins
On his father's grave he swore:
"I'll accomplish your endless task"
But his wings were burnt by the sunlight
And his mirth hiding behind the mask

Chorus

Then he heard the stentorian noise
Beyond the mountains
The ancient coronach of flora and fauna
He remembered an old gnostic tale
Of the coruscating crystal of tranquillity

He had travelled through time
Seen the runes of the light and the dark
He found the answer to his questions
"How to free his chained heart"
The eternal one can finally rest
He is one of the mortals now
The beauty of the crystal glowing
And his eyes shining with it, somehow

Chorus
