Farewell

Breathless and falling ... (Breathless and falling) So lucent the vapor The morning star's fluent light... (She's now collapsed) Brightens the day... Indolent, flurry winds... (Take away her agony) Fluster the vacant sky; Harmless; devoid of the Earth... Tranquil, but restless... (Tranquil, but restless) in clustering glory Sullen though crystal... (She's now collapsed) In weeping for man... High above gazing... (High above) In garments of wonder In union their eyes watch in pain... (Take away her agony) Octogenarian clinging to life Caught in a whirlwind of odious Strife Caught in the currents that pull From below Holding her down but she dying Slow Fa la la, Fa la la, Falling from her Peace She's now collapsed Farewell, Farewell, Farewell. Listen to this as a song! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=41813&songID=684065 _
