A Desolate Spectaculum lyrics

Far � and yet all too near�
Augmenting as swift and turbulent streams
There arose a multitude of atomic thoughts
Bred for long within.

For life itself in this momentum
Inhospitable appears and desolate, 
Nor known by nor knowing me�

Shall I then part - hence whither wander down 
Into a lower realm? Departure from this dwelling
In obscure Twilight to remain?

In lurking patience some uncouth cell
�Mongst horrid views and ebon shades
Hence vain deceiving joys
In unanswered decay to e�erforth dwell�
Hovering existence slowly drowned
In thick hideous dreams.

For in a sad leaden downward cast
My dreams consumed all life at last.

As swift and turbulent streams
There arose a multitude of atomic thoughts
Bred for long within.

For in a sad leaden downward cast
My dreams consumed all life at last.

To appear in spite of sorrows
And at the sight of heart-bleaking unlight
To bid for gentle morrows.

Shall I then part - hence whither wander down 
Into a lower realm? Departure from this dwelling
In obscure Twilight to remain?

As nightfall far too oft belies
The dawn�s gentle promises � all.
By appearing in many dreadful guises
It turns unrecognizable.

As swift and turbulent streams
There arose a multitude of atomic thoughts
Bred for long within.

Scion of despair - reason vanished like smoke
In longing for those whom I left behind�

In me the all-forsaken living part of eternity!

Inextricable web of elusive reflections
Bearing the cruel refractory reminiscence.

To sorrow now� repent? Or pray?
The mystery still binding me � leave me not
In death�s ashen dust.
