Reverie / Harlequin Forest

Into the trees
 Past meadow grounds
 And further away from my home
 Baying behind me
 I hear the hounds
 Flock's chasing to find me alone
 ♪
 A trail of sickness
 Leading to me
 If I am haunted
 Then you will see
 Searching the darkness
 And emptiness
 I'm hiding away from the sun
 Will never rest
 Never be at ease
 All my matter's expired so I run
 A trail of sickness
 Leading to me
 If I am haunted
 Then you will see
 ♪
 There falls another
 Vapor hands released the blade
 Insane regrets at the drop
 Instruments of death before me
 ♪
 Lose all to save a little
 At your peril it's justified
 And dismiss your demons
 As death becomes a jest
 You are the laughing stock
 Of the absinthe minded
 Confessions stuck in your mouth
 And long gone fevers reappear
 ♪
 Nocturnally helpless
 And weak in the light
 Depending on a prayer
 Pacing deserted roads to find
 A seed of hope
 ♪
 They are the trees
 ♪
 Rotten pulp inside and never well
 ♪
 Roots are sucking, thieving from my source
 ♪
 Tired boughs reaching for the light
 ♪
 It is all false pretension
 Harlequin forest
 Awaiting redemption for a lifetime
 As they die alone
 With no one by their side
 Are they forgiven?
 ♪
 Stark determination
 Poisoning the soul
 Unfettered beast inside
 Claiming sovereign control
 ♪
 And now the woods are burning
 ♪
 Tearing life crops asunder
 ♪
 Useless blackened remains
 Still pyre smoldering
