Emerald Earth - Dødsengel

Forever did I lie, dreaming

Forever did I walk, slumbering

A restless sleep, a waking dream

A world of grey and unrest

My heart rebelled against this dull horror

Yet my mind could conceive of nothing else

These eyes beheld nothing but grey dust

And my tongue could taste nothing but ashes

Yet from this nothing arose a lotus

Its petals golden and blue through the anguish which revealed an emerald earth

In this lies a great mystery

None was the initiator and nought was the offering

Nothingness revealed a hidden fire

Fresh eyes to the blind

None awoke the dreamer and there was no dream

Nothing kissed my brow and raised my eyes

Nothing took me by the hand and led me

We entered the portal

We passed through the watchtowers

We left the world of grey marionettes and shells

And the world gladdened into green at her coming

And i beheld the emerald earth
