Descend brought heavy load
covered in layers
Veiled in the clothes of forgetting
my eyes so weary
Open up gate before me
let me in paradise
everything my mind seeks
laid there bare in front of my eyes
Fruit oh so sweet, sunshine so bright
my feet pampered in grass
body light as a feather
Look around, find yourself a lass
to give you meaning
wed her in your heart
be her temple of life
Many years passed, paradise seems dull
what once warmed you, now is cold as ice
´´Oh paradise are you not what I sought
to save me from endless naught´´
Look through the gate, darkness
not a shimmer of light
everything that envelopes me
brought me joy once
now I seek further, sacrifice all I am in this place
I lay bare before thee endless night
I seek what was veiled once to unveil again
This is my prayer, my heart is all I got
All of my possessions, possessed me
as I borrowed them I return to dust
Like a fool I open the gate, set step out
hoping One at least dwells upon me
I fell down terrified
No way back, the task is set
whether I suffer endlessly
it is worth, uncovering, living again
Step by step I stumble, held up by my will
to know where I came from
to reveal...
