From The Underworld

Out of the land of shadows and

Darkness, we were returning

Towards the morning light

Almost in reach of places I knew

Escaping the ghosts of Yesterday

You were behind me following

Closely

"Don't turn around now"

I heard you whisper in my ear

"If you should turn now,

All that you won

Will vanish just like a passing dream.

Just on the very verge of the

Morning, daylight was dawning,

Freedom was but a step away

Now with the deep dark river

Behind us,

What could go wrong if I stayed

Strong in mind.

What was the sudden lapse into

Madness, what was the urge that

Turned my head around to look at you?

What was the stubborn will

To destroy the love and the joy

I nearly held?

Three times the thunder roared

In my ears

In all of my years I'll see that lost

Look in your eyes.

As, with a sigh like smoke in the wind

You slipped from my grasp into

The waiting shadows

So much I longed to say,

But my touch found only the

Empty air and a black nights

Coldness.

Lnto another world you entered

And never again I can reclaim you
