Stand Vigil Songtext
von Andsolis

There is a way she consumes the lecherous self
A soul that struggles to reach

Lurid incense clouds the eclipse
Lilies hanging off gardens spring into earth

Privily she waits between many a sun
With eternal worlds the sense of night suspires

A sound alone upon the hill where he waits for her
He sees the grass grow, its shades oscillate

Grey mist dwells upon the stairs
And the mirror refracts of satiate life
A sleeper that bends toward the solemn sky
Thus sits in annealing temples and towers

The spirit of this place they cease to while away
Why hope and wonder?


Their envy grants them no more hours of rest
Moans of wanderers within a dark eye
Along the firmament turn toward the gilded hall
That lies beneath the entrance of the mountain crag

A haunted heart in melancholy breaks
And death bears not immortal life but nothingness

Water under the moon, wreathe the future cries
Shall flow into the thunder blasted tree

A double life no light meets her tearful face
Thus denigrates all things that she forevermore dreads

Reverent in his solitude
He falls from light in apathy
A crown to the ashen king who stands
Drawn to broken contemplation

A light breeze restless through the leaves
His heart grieves the thought of her
Her ghost shall not part from where
He knows he caresses her still
