There, stuck in paralysing indecision,
There, chained by stunning fear,
As a thick fog clouds my eyes
And but silence comes to my ears,
There I stand and wonder.
When voices in the wind speak,
When words composed old rhymes,
My intentions become so weak,
As it listens to the bell that chimes.
That's when I fall and wonder.
Then, caught in a trembling heartbeat,
Then, locked in the time of a breath,
As layers of ice my hands heat,
And I smell but the scent of death,
Then I live and wonder.
Where the dark the earth covers,
Where the eternal nights lie,
My long lost will power wavers
As it watches the ancient stars die.
That's where I hope and wonder.
Why is the clock ticking so fast?
Why is the cruel time running away?
Blurred visions are what's left of my past,
Dark and cold is what for me be may.
So, I dream and wonder.
The ruthless path before me divides,
Leaving me at the mercy of the tides.
I stand with the box in a shaky hand,
As I wish to just fall and tiredly bend,
Watching my many selves die and live,
Listening as they in vain hope and grieve,
'Cause I dream forevermore no longer,
And the worlds no more make me wonder.
