Someone's decided To test me again, Someone's divided My past and pain. From future resembling The numbness of night, So silent and senseless, I'm taking my flight. Forgive me, oh princess, My doubts and fear, Forgive me my weakness And sorrows I bear. And now the time has come for reaping, The grimmer gathering of grain. And though the memories are keeping me sane, The summer's gone. And nothing's gained. Aimless and empty, Like stars in your crown. Twilight is tempting - Not me, for I drown In absolute darkness - I know you've been here! - Where wounded obstructions And madness adhere! Forgive me, oh princess, My doubts and fear, Forgive me my weakness And sorrows I bear. And now the time has come for reaping, The grimmer gathering of grain. And though the memories are keeping me sane, The summer's gone. And nothing's gained. The summer's gone. And nothing's gained.
