Lyrics Midnight Sun

what went down on the side
of the road? what i saw at
the edge of the see. only
those elements time cannot
wear, and they follow. what
seeped out throught the cracks
in time, what sucks out the
color in me? what awaits beyond
infinity? beyond and to all
time i stand what blew in with
the great gale? what weighed down
the falling leaves? what came
forth from the remains? what has
always lived and gone unseen? what
has caused the night to fall?
who speaks of eternity?
who awakes to night eternally?
de profundis clamavi
o my sole love, i pray thee
pity me from out this
dark gulf where my poor
heart lies, a barren world
hemmed in by leaden skies
where horror flies at night,
and blasphemy. for half
the year the sickly sun is
seen, the other half thick
night lies on the land,
a country bleaker than the
polar strand; no beasts,
no brooks, nor any shred of green.
there never was a horror
which surpassed this icy sun's
cold cruelty, and this vast
night like primeval chaos;
would i were like the dumb
brutes, who in a secret lair
lie wrapt in stupid slumber
for a space... time creeps
at so burdensome a pace.
