lyrics

I've lost all but this body
That aches with echoes
That ramble deep inside
Ya Aadra in the name of god
Will it stop hurting
I've faded away, and my heart
My heart won't wander behind
I glance over for one last time
A great adventure awaits tonight

I knew that this day would come
Woken up through a thousand ages
Forgive me, I couldn't gaze yet in the sun
But these mountains afar, green beneath a white cloak
Will shelter me from reality's malice
To feign to wash off your tears
Only to whisper its words of death
In your ears

Now hear
The call of the town perched so near
A place to shatter the remain
Of that feeling you hold in disdain
The hills of Qartaba
To find the one rose that never bleeds
Your dreams
Are gathered in neighbouring streams
Now time to burnish my campaign
In a kingdom unphased by the rain
Travelling across this ancient yellow wooded wonder

I knew that this day would come
Burnt the ink from my previous pages
Believe me, a brand new tome has begun
But these fruit trees filled road
Lead a pilgrim up high
A thousand miles in the sky
Cedars shelter the meek
As the verse of the covenant
Shall bespeak

Now hear
The call of the town perched so near
A place to shatter the remain
Of that feeling you hold in disdain
The hills of Qartaba
To find the one rose that never bleeds
Your dreams
Are gathered in neighbouring streams
Now time to burnish my campaign
In a kingdom unphased by the rain
Travelling across this ancient yellow wooded wonder

Shocked and dismayed I gape at the idyll ahead
Skeptic of the road I've been staking
Beams of lucidity rouse the closure I dread
I hurt still in peaks so breathtaking
I can't be mistaking I can't be mistaking

Now hear
The call of the town perched so near
A place to shatter the remain
Of that feeling you hold in disdain
The hills of Qartaba
To find the one rose that never bleeds
Your dreams
Are gathered in neighbouring streams
Now time to burnish my campaign
In a kingdom unphased by the rain
Travelling across this ancient


I've lost all but this body
Along nobody
I ache, with echoes
That ramble deep inside
Ya Aadra for the love of god
Make it stop hurting
I've faded away
But my heart was left behind
O the lifetimes I'd give to admire her for one
One last night
