Fading Earth Songtext
von Leaves’ Eyes

I knew so well those eyes
I know so well what they won′t tell
Freeze in the window light
You've been too long away

I left you heartsick in the morning just to come again at dark
Scattered poems on the floor is all I left behind

This fading earth
This heavy dark-blue sky around me
I′m laying the night awake forsaken and mistaken
Against my life I hold this silver blade in my hand
Who am I to think you'll wait for me on the other side

My paradise was never here
This hopeless fight amongst the living
I fear that age and death someday brings you to decay


Coloured with the death of man
A hundred years of wait and drain
Sick with hatred sick with pain
Your patience is wearing thin

This fading earth
This heavy dark-blue sky around me
I'm laying the night awake forsaken and mistaken
Against my life I hold this silver blade in my hand
Who am I to think you′ll wait for me on the other side

Why try to be patient with life
Once so promising but yet so vulnerable
But yet so vulnerable

This fading earth
This heavy dark-blue sky around me
I′m laying the night awake forsaken and mistaken
Against my life I hold this silver blade in my hand
Who am I to think you'll wait for me on the other side

This fading earth on the other side
I pray you′ll wait for me on the other side
On the other side
On the other side
