Requiem 歌詞

Requiem, requiem, anthem of a death Requiem, requiem, last hymn, last prayer, last breath No more to touch the flesh that burns No more to rise in ecstasy Farewell the sweet and golden time The wine of rose and fantasy Left behind are dreams of light Now that the flame is lost and dead The thread of being curls away Like smoke above the ashen bed Now the dance is almost done A final graceless sarabande The rhythms of existence cease Time has stilled the drummers hand In vain the tune will call you now The silent, empty house will burn The dust from which you came reclaims you As to dust all must return Lust for life and loving fled Sweat stained passion cannot stay Sands of time for doubt and pain Through grasping fingers slips away Only memory remains To touch the heart and mind and soul A glimpse of peace, a benediction Heal the wounds and make us whole
