The Farewell - Antichrisis

I wanted to live on top of a mountain

but it’s cold and forsaken there without you now

I wanted to dive into the ocean of love

but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams

For you I sang songs of the nightswan

and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart

Forever burning on love’s funeral pyre:

Stop beating now, my bleeding heart!

For this knife did cut too deep

so for the last time I’m trying not to breathe

Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart:

I gave you so much more than just my love

and you broke so much more than just a promise

Our planet vanished so devastatingly

amongst the mists of time

There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow’s End

somewhere behind Andromeda

I’ve been waiting til the end of december

but no more will I ride

for the winter solstice’s child

will pass away silently on a midsummer’s night

So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel

serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms

cover me with elder flowers

and take me down to my beloved sea

I’m so tired, so tremendously tired

Please wait for me under the midnight sun

where I will sing and dance again

and my laughter will be heard

echoing down the hillside again…

Oh, how I tried to believe, how I loved,

How I tried to hold on to my dream;

How I wanted to live — but now I’m going home

to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word

and as I kiss the memory of yours goodnight

I’m beginning to see the light…

Ich liebe Dich fur immer!
