Eternal Tears Of Sorrow - Coronach lyrics

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 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 Yesterday's like a dream and tomorrow's like a mirage Now's the time to get eternal rest, now's the endless roaming over
