[02:21.15]The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
[02:26.22]Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
[02:31.21]A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
[02:35.58]But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
[02:41.26]
[02:45.59]He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
[02:50.64]In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
[02:56.07]He's chained forever to a world that's departed
[03:00.48]It's not enough, it's not enough
[03:04.69]
[03:30.82]His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
[03:35.86]His knees have trembled & given way in the night
[03:40.43]His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
[03:45.90]His step has faltered
[03:49.76]
[03:56.02]One world, one soul
[04:05.46]Time pass, the river rolls
[04:15.52]
[04:21.20]
[05:15.42]And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
[05:20.57]And silent replies that swirl invitation
[05:24.90]Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
[05:30.49]A grim intimation of what is to be
[05:35.05]
[05:39.52]There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
[05:45.49]And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
[05:50.23]And silence that speaks so much louder than words,
[05:55.18]Of promises broken
[06:00.41]
