Anders Jivarp - Shadow Duet lyrics

Shadows play In my wilderness' mindscape (they seek) One spiteful and wicked One humble and meek A windswept pale landscape Of edified (thought) Two frictional forces A triad have brought Woven A soft breeze whispers slowly Within me In the valley of my mind The aerial mists sink falling And its breath both foul and holy Is like the deer to a dying hind Slowly traversing the atmosphere Calling Wordless, yet in soul so true Nameless, yet it lives in you Shapeless like the purity of pain Lawful when all fear is slain One shadow of beauty caressing the flowers The paleness of winter reflects in her eyes- Deity of stardom Enticer of stardoom So soft and so silent Maternal - eternal Serenity fades Blinded by visions of sunlight (nocturnal) With the darkening of skies One shadow of darkness A shade of deep hate A wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze In sheets of sharp silver Laid youthful to die Reborn into vengeance Dark flames dance in grace Dark flames dance in grace In the grace of storms One shadow of beauty One shadow of darkness Sailing free on the sea within my mind Surging dark oceans Perpetual waters Creator of life And reclaimer of (souls) Mother ocean Watching the deep fjords uneasily moving Whipping the white waves towards the cold air Rising like swans in a scarred, sudden motion A cascade of lost feathers... adrift on the sea Hark A serenade in the tongue of the wind The sighs of the centuries, so sonorous in the bower Hovering further athwart a leafy cover A shelter for those whose time's wind make them wither And therefore they choose to guide this time-wind hither Alas, in tune with the tide of time I was, but I'm not Nor I'll be with its pride Yes, aeons have flown But more is to come For I know time But time is not eternal, their lifestars not immortal A friend that I greet with open arms Setting souls can never A brothersoul of deadly harm Pa** through the pearly portal No bliss be give And joy Nor joy Flowing down the gates of hell Fire I cry for you... Don't spill your tears for me But for your kit and kin My scions of light? Deprived of the lust and the treasure of pleasure Which is the fuel for life And glory Silent your dark desires within entirety's light Solitude Sanctity Sanctuary Sanctum (sanctum) Sanctum- (tranquility) Hear me You who hold the fate of stars in hand Before creation's eye I stand My soul set free In summerland Mighty the strand of the universe A chaosvoid tomb of dead worlds Hark What? Divinity flows in your heart Cast it alight, the seed of all art Slowly reborn from a sunless state of mind Silent, you fool A cradle of roses Embedded in stillness and shade Silent, you fool Thine words are untrue Remember Endymion's crestfallen tears Serene art the gods, yet pain is their way He touched by the heavens His hellfire nears A silent divinity, now see your body (of air) Free now your heavenly body of air Come bathe in the rays of the all-seeing one Holding the fate of all life in both hands Breathing life-force Like gold made from sand My winged steed of moonlight Black stallion of thunder We rode above the greenish earth And tore the green asunder But what you left bleeding Destroyed a soulforsaken world And your deeds of sharp silver Decoyed a mindforsaken herd A duet of shadows A duet of shadows A duet of thoughts A duet of thoughts Of beings we feed With the dust of our thoughts Residing within us The two-fold wheel of life Of insight created: a triad of j**els (A thin leaf of the life-tree's truth)
