Woe Unto Me - My Joy Lies Behind lyrics
Artist: Woe Unto Me
album: Among the Lightened Skies the Voidness Flashed
How heavy do I journey on the way,
When what I seek, my weary travel's end,
Doth teach that ease and that repose to say
"Thus far the miles are measured from thy friend!"
The beast that bears me, tired with my woe,
Plods dully on, to bear that weight in me,
As if by some instinct the wretch did know
His rider loved not speed, being made from thee:
The bloomy spur cannot provoke him on
That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide;
Which heavily he answers with a groan
More sharp to me that spurring to his side;
For that same groan doth put this in my mind;
My grief lies onward and my joy behind.
When what I seek, my weary travel's end,
Doth teach that ease and that repose to say
"Thus far the miles are measured from thy friend!"
The beast that bears me, tired with my woe,
Plods dully on, to bear that weight in me,
As if by some instinct the wretch did know
His rider loved not speed, being made from thee:
The bloomy spur cannot provoke him on
That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide;
Which heavily he answers with a groan
More sharp to me that spurring to his side;
For that same groan doth put this in my mind;
My grief lies onward and my joy behind.
