Lyric

Wreathed in silence, laid down in shades

Swathed in regrets, deluded astray

Forgotten in half-light, drawn in despair

Soothed in slumber so dreadful and fair

Rending and searing and twisting my dreams

Alone in the gloom with the nightmares unseen

The night has a thousand eyes

And the day but one

Yet the light of the bright world dies

With the dying sun

The night has a thousand eyes

And the day but one

Yet the light of the bright world dies

With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes

And the heart but one

Yet the light of a whole life dies

When love is done

Worthless the pledges, all vows but lies

Fateful her kisses, where a serpent hides

First beckoned to step from the twilight to glare

Then left in the dark for the demons to share

The night has a thousand eyes

And the day but one

Yet the light of the bright world dies

With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes

And the day but one

Yet the light of the bright world dies

With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes

And the day but one

Yet the light of the bright world dies

With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes

And the heart but one

Yet the light of a whole life dies

When love is done

Only the stars see, only the moon hears

Only the stars see, only the moon

And quietly the water-lilies sigh

Like the last breath of a weary soul

And the weed sway in the dreary waters

Like a girl's dark hair they wave about

And the black stones under my bare feet

Cold and smooth like her milk-white palm

And the silence which falls upon this shore

Resounds now louder than oncoming storm

For all is gone

Only the stars see

Only the moon hears

Only the stars see

Only the moon hears

Only the moon

- It's already the end -
