Opeth - April Ethereal lyrics

Artist: Opeth

album: The Candlelight Years


It was me, peering through the looking-glass
Beyond the embrace of Christ
Like the secret face within the tapestry
Like a bird of prey over the crest
And she was swathed in sorrow
As if born within its mask
♪
Her candlelight snuffed, the icon smiled
Emptiness followed in her wake
I could clasp her in undying love
Ghostlike rapture the final word was mine
♪
She faced me in awe
♪
It was a token of ebony color
Embodied in faint vapor
Wandering through April's fire

Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you
♪
Compelled to grasp and to hold
The one, that was you
♪
I will endure, hide away
I would outrun the scythe, glaring with failure
♪
It is a mere destiny I thought
A threshold I had crossed before
♪
The rain was waving goodbye
♪
And when the night came
The forest folded its branches around me
Something passed by, and I went into a dream
She, laughing and weeping at once: "Take me away"
♪
I don't know how or why
And I'll never know when
