Starward Longing

from Seagrave (ALBUM) by Nuclear Winter

/

lyrics

Thanked has been fortune, it has been otherwise twenty times better.
I wished that there might start eternity,
And the sun itself shall perish as every dream of mine.

My whole youths starward longing could not win.

And as it did, my thoughts are now for you sealed.
Sealed forever as every star is blotted from the sky.
Is this all a once gallant hymn of dreamed salvation.

Cold lips that sing no more.
And withered wreaths and regretful eyes.
I wished that there might start eternity.
It has been otherwise twenty times better.
twenty times better!

Of that never ending load
that on all living creatures lies.
Nor stoops to pity the sorrow in our eyes.

It has been otherwise so much better!

I wished that there might start eternity.
Where our path for a while emerges
then closes now when time is still.

My whole youths starward longing could not win.

The wound in the circuit of one vast coil
proclaiming the time was neither wrong nor right.

Then as it did, my thoughts are now for you sealed.
Sealed as every star is blotted from the blackened sky.
Is this all a once gallant hymn of dream salvation.

The calyx of death's bounty giving back livid hieroglyph.
Stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fled.
The wound in the circuit of one vast coil.
