ANATHEMA lyrics : "Hope"

I was not put here by anyone in fear
I came alone as me
Just an idea in a long chain of discovery

Surrounded by the same you

Sometimes your tide pulls me out to sea

And I die in a thrashing curse
Sometimes we are kind
More often, I doze

So far up the beach that those who try to reach are burnt alive
in the searing
heat of the desert of my dispassion

So far removed, I never hear the water
'Cept once or twice a month when I see a mirror


And I refuse to believe in some of the things that are said to
be here
Let alone those that are not

I'm trying to change my direction
Ours is pathetic in my own humble estimation


I love the planet
The great benign she-wolf
Benefactor

Spinning gently on towards the red giant four aeons hence
When all the rose gardens are consumed in the flash-fire of
flying time

She'll leave alone to you"

When you look at me

From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology

But when the winds blow
From this direction
You may sense that I'm

In your reflection
I think I feel you
But I will never know

As the swallows leave
And the children grow


I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever

And everybody knew

When I caught you there

In tomorrows mirror
I thought I felt you
Jump out of my skin

Throwing oil into
My blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps

I was standing in

I wanted to live forever

The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew


As the falling rain
Of the northern jungle

Hanging droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you

Across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist

The frost across my window pane
And again


She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spins

And tells me that I'll never want to leave

As I think of you
From this dark century
I will always be

With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
That we're not just
Spirits disappearing
