Lost
Am one of those lost to the blackness, to Ecl?
Through the ice I drown
Sweet, sweet mercy is Ecl
Madness is a music to which I dance
Ecl is my haven, my distant companion
Rise my kingdom, rise my beautiful fantasies, to the shadows of my dreaming
Come dance along with my steps, gone in the sands of time
Dancing within Mehay, bending Anhleh to my will
Am I lost…am I saved?
I no longer know.
From the pain, the sickening aches
That flow in my mortal deformity
I am rescued
Healed with a bitter salve that leads me to…
The comforting insanity to which is Ecl.
The pain is but a memory
Going numb with my mind
Yet I shake still in fear
Fear of turning back
Back to my mortal world of loneliness
Of the lullabies of scorn that surround me
Of a life without wings, without flight
Back to my hurting, burning mortality
Why go back to the Now?
Why face the faces that will only draw back into shadow?
Why, why, why, I ask you
Why should I, when Ecl has sheltered me ever so long?
You shine too bright in this darkness
Life cannot be as wondrous as you say
For I have only felt its bitter sorrow
Go back and leave me to Ecl
Leave me, just leave me
To my pain, to my deadened world
To my memories, draped in shadow
Leave me, leave me
To become one of those ones
Those ones lost in insanity
Those ones lost in darkness
Lost in Ecl
To become one…
Those ones lost…
Lost in the dark, in insanity…
…I have become…
One lost in Ecl.
