I came into this world against my will Beyond the gate was no one waiting for me Throughout my life I walked through silent hills But all the rest was nothingness before me
I walked through gardens and forsaken vales All on the path I’ve once and ever chosen I’ve seen it all and all of what remains Still nothing could appear being worth it I’m waiting for the night to fall, To step outside and close the door To watch the stars on bottom Of a deep dark sea The night will take my pain away, Till sunlight yields another day This mourning purple Shall my eyes Forever see Could rest be hidden in a field of corn? Could peace be seen behind the rolling thunder? I’ll never know where all my dreams are gone, And till the last of mine I’ll ever wonder I’m waiting for the night to fall, To step outside and close the door To watch the stars on bottom Of a deep dark sea The night will take my pain away, Till sunlight yields another day This mourning purple Shall my eyes Forever see Purple skies, Burden skies What else should I sacrifice? Heaven’s glow, Heavy glow Silently beckons as long ago I’m waiting for the night to fall, To step outside and close the door To watch the stars on bottom Of a deep dark sea The night will take my pain away, Till sunlight yields another day This mourning purple Shall my eyes Forever see
