[02:52.600]The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
[02:57.930]Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
[03:02.720]A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
[03:07.630]But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
[03:17.630]He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
[03:22.600]In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
[03:27.600]He's chained forever to a world that's departed
[03:32.610]It's not enough, it's not enough
[04:02.810]His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
[04:07.860]His knees have trembled & given way in the night
[04:12.390]His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
[04:17.930]His step has faltered
[04:28.370]One world, one soul
[04:38.440]Time pass, the river rolls
[05:48.930]And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
[05:53.920]And silent replies that swirl invitation
[05:59.170]Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
[06:04.070]A grim intimation of what is to be
[06:14.200]There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
[06:19.080]And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
[06:24.700]And silence that speaks so much louder than words
[06:29.600]Of promises broken
