[02:22.03]The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
[02:26.77]Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
[02:32.06]A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
[02:36.56]But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
[02:44.11]He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
[02:51.24]In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
[02:56.42]He's chained forever to a world that's departed
[03:01.27]It's not enough, it's not enough
[03:05.40]🎵
[03:31.11]His blood has frozen and curdled with fright
[03:35.75]His knees have trembled and given way in the night
[03:40.78]His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
[03:45.63]His step has faltered
[03:49.28]🎵
[03:52.09]One world, one soul
[04:05.95]Time pass, the river roll
[04:15.99]🎵
[04:45.87]And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
[05:20.81]And silent replies that swirl invitation
[05:25.68]Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
[05:30.77]A grim intimation of what is to be
[05:36.38]🎵
[05:41.09]There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
[05:45.61]And there's dust in my eyes that blinds my sight
[05:50.50]And silence that speaks so much louder than words
[05:55.42]Of promises broken
[05:57.14]🎵
