Dark Waters - Evergrey

Twilight

Still not dark

The snow on the ground sheds some light

A silhouette not taller than a child

Appears in the doorway

Too strange to be real yet too real to be a dream

Immense fear grabs a hold of me

I’m paralysed numb and naked

Branches passes me I see treetops beneath me

A floor in grey below me slowly shuts like an iris

Activity — and all turns black once again

Lunacy — my weakness force me to follow

Encountering a depth of hate never seen

Blood runs cold I cease exist and my soul is hollow

Deprived of all pride

I’ve been stripped of all value

I’m worth nothing here

And I know no-one

She stares at me

At least I perceive her as a she

And she speaks to me I can hear her

Her lips doesn’t move

Why can’t I be left alone to live my life in harmony

The visitors by night makes this a living nightmare

Deprived of all pride

I’ve been stripped of all value

Worth nothing here

And I know no-one

Deprived of all pride

I’ve been stripped of all value

Worth nothing here

And i know no-one

Deprived of all pride

I’ve been stripped of all value

On the other side

Of the dark waters
