Anathema - Resonance [compilation] (2001) by Anathema (보컬) on maniadb.com

We are scars of the old stream
Trailing away from the hills where we once lived.

Somniferous whisperings of scarlet fields
Sleep calling me and my dreams are wondrous
My reality abandoned (I traverse afar)
Not a care if I never wake

La voie, le saule s’incline dessus du ruisseau,
Comme une personne qui se descend criant pour l'amant.
La voie le saule s’incline dessus du ruisseau,
Comme une personne qui se descend criant pour l’amant.
Me rappele d’automne precedente, en reverence,
Je m’ai engage, je m’ai engage, je m’ai engage a vous
Je m’ai engage, je m’ai engage, I plegded myself to you.

I gave you my soul
You left me dying

(Freezing in the cold wind that screams through
the silence, in the barren wastes of my heart)

Within the walls
Of my mind... alone,
The winter serenade
Fell silent to me

One common, subterranean destination
One life, another day
A vestal child unveiled by temptation
Innocence slips away

Far away

Been down so long
Too deep the water that I tread
Sometimes I feel myself going under
Sometimes I envy the dead

So take me far away

I'm sorry about the sun
How could I know that you would burn?
And I'm sorry about the moon
How could I know that you'd disapprove?
And I'll never make the same mistake
So, next time I create the universe
I'll make sure we communicate at length
Oh, yeah...

But until then you're better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, it's better than this
Take it away 'cause there's nothing to miss
I'm sorry about the world
How could I know you'd take it so bad?
And I'll never make the same mistake
So if you're looking for a fantasy
Why not try the entire human race?
Just to play it safe

Until then you're better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, better than this
Take it away 'cause there's nothing to miss
Better off dead, better off dead
Why don't you try pushing daisies instead?
Better off dead, better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head

And I'll never make the same mistake
The next time I create the universe
I'll make sure you participate
Oh, yeah...

And I'll never make the same mistake
The next time I create the universe
I'll make sure we communicate at length
Just in case

When you're one of the few to land on your feet
What do you do to make ends meet?

Make them mad, make them sad,
Make them add two and two,
Or make them me, or make them you,
Make them do what you want them to.
Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry,
Make 'em lie down and die.

When the silence beckons,
And the day draws to a close,
When the light of your life sighs,
And love dies in your eyes,
Only then will I realise,
What you mean to me

Goodbye, cruel world,
I'm leaving you today.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Goodbye all you people,
There's nothing you can say,
To make me change my mind.
Goodbye.

I tried to murder the lonely,
Contemplate our mortality.

Into infinity,
Frozen memory

Wipe the tears from yesterday,
A time for change, take the pain away.

Angel, my destiny,
Can you feel me?

In dreamland grandeur
I held mesmerised peace
Innocence breathed again

A mind's escape
Leave walls of tears behind
Ethereal vision haunting still .....
The solitude left me blind

Beneath an open sky
Sibilant cries of youth dying
Enslave me with grief

A moonlit era, oblivion's twilight kiss
Wishes in lament
Happiness in a broken vision

Utopia still unborn .....

Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden
I longed for her beauty
Yet from dust, she returned
The dream, an enigma ..... silent

Where are you tonight?
Wild flower in starlit heaven
Still enchanted in flight
Obsessions lament to freedom

A timeless word, the meanings changed
But I'm still burning in your flames,
Incessant, lustral masquerade,
Unengaged, dimlit love didn't taste the same

And I still wonder if you ever wonder the same
And I still wonder...
