HANGING GARDEN LYRICS

1. Borrowed Eyes


In sickness and health they said
Yet all that one can perceive
Is a domain of death and disease
Flies and dust

Think quick on your feet
Tread the treacherous trails
Ridden with fox holes
Filled with vacant eyes

All houses are empty
And from the holes as branches
Rigid fingers reach out
They point at nothingness

We brought it all down
The fires and ashes
From green to black and brown
Here lies no catharsis


2. Whiteout


Is there a way
To start over
Is there a way out
We're short of breath
Feet lagging behind

Leave me here
I haven't the strength to go on
Leave me here
I am content to stay

Is there a way
To start over
Is there a way out
I turn around
Snow has covered our tracks


3. Embers


From summer's end
We walk towards winter
Shadows entwined
Fleeting moments passing by

By dawn we were ended
Yet there was beauty to be found
The warmth still lingered
And the gentle snow that made no sound

Do not grieve, my friend
For each beginning there must be an end

Do not grieve, my friend
And while there are things to be buried deep
For each beginning there must be an end
We'll meet again beyond the realms of sleep

Thrice the moon's full bloom
Yet only twice the eventide
One night to set alight
Another to let the fire die

Yet the embers remain


4. Eclipse


The end of this eclipse
The dusk of the last day
Is not one of closure
No solace can be found here

No answers are laid bare
No truths are spoken

The start of this eclipse
The dawn of the first day
Is not one of closure
No solace can be found here

Here night prevails
And the day holds no stead
No answers are laid bare
No truths are spoken

So kill the lights
Draw down all curtains
Smother the dying fire
And maybe you will see


5. Aoede


Here I stand alone
Firm I face the dark
Moon's gaze upon my shoulders
The breath of winter on my skin

Your warmth still carries on
A candle against the cold
And time, place and distance
Have lost their hold

What if we could share the stars
The earth that bears our weight
What if we could share the sun
The sky, the wind and the sea


6. Unearth


I lose myself here
And become one
With all that I am
About to be

The words will not come
They are buried under the mountains
Lost deep in the ocean
Scattered in the wind

I lose myself here
And become none
Leave behind the one
I used to be

Lose yourself here now
And the words will be found
Washed to the shore by the storms
Brought down by torrents cold

We stole the fire
To keep away the cold
Our hands got burned
Yet we kept our hold


7. Words That Bear No Meaning


I am weary of this
Weary of every little thing
Keepsakes held dear
Havens that burned

So I tear loose this skin
Tainted with affection
Plagued with compassion
Scarred by hope

And I shall become your eyes
Your ears, your skin and mouth
And it's through me that you'll speak
Words that bear no meaning

Beneath our feet
The ice keeps melting
The waters run black
The earth, a corpse's putrid skin

Lesions carved deep
Ground down to roots now
So lay down all that remains
To where sensation goes to die


8. My Rise Is Your Fall


Cursed be our mother the Earth
The harlot would breed no more
She took the seed oh many a time
Perfected by her firstborn son

We kept her on a leash of thorns
Made obedient with the sternest of bonds

Cursed be our mother the Earth
Her veins have run dry
Her loins, now barren, ridden of life
Her breast has long since withered away

We kept her on a leash of thorns
Made obedient with the sternest of bonds
Yet ever weaker has the bloodline grown
And ill spent the seed

She kept her silence all these years
Until the end


9. Blackout


Let your voice out
We've been silent too long
An ode of one forsaken
For another one to hear

We tread with graceful grace
All paths shrouded in haze
Lead by promise of unknown
Did we lose our way
Oh did we

Come and break the silence
Hear an echo resound aloud
Reach out your voice for a melody
Hear it beckoning, reaching out for you

We have lost our silence now
Have we lost our way as well


There are truths one can find
Confined beyond senses
Truths eyes cannot perceive
Truths for ears unheard of

Are we too far gone
Too strayed from the path
Guided away by promises
Lost and astray
Gone to nothingness
We are too far gone
Too strayed from the path
Guided away by promises
Lost and astray
Gone to nothingness
