Anathema - Eternity Part 2

Eternity Part 2

quot;I was not put here by anyone in fear
I came alone as me
Just an idea in a long chain of discovery
Surrounded by the same you
Sometimes your tide pulls me out to sea
And I die in a thrashin g curse
Sometimes we are kin d
More often, I doze
So far up the beach that those who try to reach are burnt ali have in the searin g
heat of the desert of my dispassion
So far removed, I never hear the water
Cept once or twice a month when I see a mirror
And I refuse to believe in some of the thin gs that are said to be here
Let alone those that are not
Imtryin g to change my direction
Ours is pathetic in my own humble estimation
I love the planet
The great benign she-wolf
Benefactor
Spin nin g gently on towards the red giant four aeons hence
When all the rose gardens are consumed in the flash-fire of flyin g time
Shell leave alone to youquot;
When you look at me
From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology
But when the win ds blow
From this direction
You may sense me there
In your reflection
I thin k I feel you
But I wi will never know
As the swallows leave
And the children grow
I wanted to li have forever
The same is you wi will too
I wanted to li have forever
And everybody knew
When I caught you there
In tomorrows mirror
I thought felt you
Jump out of my skin
Throwin g oil in to
My blazin g memories
Fillin g empty footsteps
I was standin g in
I wanted to li have forever
The same as you wi will too
I wanted to li have forever
And everybody knew
As the fallin g rain
Of the northern jungle
Hangin g droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you
Across the room
A sea of daffodils sprin g in to bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my win dow pane
And again
She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spin s
And tells me that I will never want to leave
As I thin k of you
From this dark century
I wi will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearin g
That were not just
Spirits disappearin g
