Sleep well, sleep well, all is not said: My love sings every day And all that breathes in mournful song May well live on for aye (The Embrace)
There's cruelty and violence and lies like before It's a cankerous society that wreathes outside of my door I'm in reclusion here, I'm all on my own Far, far away from that raging warzone
The years took my pleasure, they hid my sunshine away Threatening each hour with the searing curse of dark decay So swiftly estranged from all I had known So quickly forgotten, deserted, alone
Beneath, beyond, in my chamber on my own Beneath, beyond, I am lonely and alone
And it's only by moonlight that I open my door I'd fain see my loved ones as I used to do before But whence came that horror? - There's no love in their eyes What fear grasps them when I try to kiss them good-bye?
Beneath, beyond, in my chamber on my own Beneath, beyond, I am lonely and alone Beneath, beyond, am I meant to leave this all behind? I cannot wander, my tears have left me blind
This is my cathedral, my castle and my citadel This is my seclusion, my shelter and my shell This is my safe château, my chamber and my cell This is my high heaven, my house, my hearse, my hell
