lyrics

Behind my window creeps a cold, and windy night
The roaring storm had been, and gone, with all its whirling clouds.
The stars are shining so hysterically bright,
And everything outside - it is unsufferably silent,
But stillness is disturbed with rare drips

And beating time to superseding memories
They render flashes in this wreathing mist
Whence lucid faces suddenly shine through, then slowly cease,
The words unspoken so far return to me -
But then I feel again - they`ll never leave my lips

Behind my window creeps a cold, and windy night,
The stars are shining so hysterically bright.
Profound terror imbues tired mind,
When I discover that my heart is truly hollow,

But it was I who always turned away,
And it was I who seemed to keep aloof, and stray,
And now reaping fruits of years-long display,
I am... a raindrop in its endless fall.

This last song is a raindrop storms might leave behind -
Some little salt for healing over wounds

A warrior`s to walk - and fall - alone,
A minstrel too...

Behind my window creeps a cold, and windy night...
Just like the cooling candle-wax becomes opaque again,
The apathy is glazing me, and I feel colour-blind
When soul-stillness is at last regained,
And proper words are vapourizing into sighs...

Although the answers ne`er emerge from heaps of all these `whys`.
My past woes are the storms those`d been, and gone.
Perhaps I strove for something far beyond my size,
And right till now simply run in circles - till I`m blown
Away by winds of distress those govern our lives...

Behind my window creeps a cold, and windy night,
The stars are shining so ecstatically bright,
Profound sadness imbues tired mind,
When I discover that this world to me is hollow,

And as all my desires are fed to nothingness
I am descending swiftly, losing breath
Down from the gloomy highs, and to the murky depths -
A single raindrop in eternal fall

This last song is a raindrop storms might leave behind -
To seal the truth:

A fighter is to walk - and fall - alone,
A singer too.
