lyrics

In silence I bear this sacrament
Beneath the veneer of elegance
Consecrated with the orchids of dawn
The seed of secret penance

Our citadel surrendered to ravages of time
Our fate, the veins of lightning forgotten
Chameleonic portents and fears
Lived in the shadow of autumn

The questions of faith in our words
The questions of faith in our reason
The ark of deliverance lost
With last parting breath of the season

In silence we pass the netherworld
Where dwell the nightmares of pure creation
Rolling sands cast in forlorn sacrilege
Covetous eyes of the sea

And the clouds keep falling, amaranthine
The storm cries our names like a harbinger of winter
Hands drift apart with little to say
Here it is, the last rose of August

The story is over and there is no other side
The malachite dream is buried forever
Here I am, and only memory remains
Here I am, nothing left to say
