lyrics

ETCHED IN FOG

It's been a long and faithful mourning
A silent devotion to an absent goddess
Lady Death had taken all of her
But a golden hair braid glowing like a star in my night !

Then suddenly I saw Her,
She was her living portray
Am I betrayed by a miracle
A treacherous meeting in the mist ?

Now when I look at the relic
The new face erases the one that passed away
A spell of resemblance had laid its bitter trap
Behold my curse, my fall

Will I expel her ?
How can I bring her back ?
I lost my mind walking in the misty hours
Feel the obsession
Feed the illusion
Her smile is etched in fog
Do I remember ?
Is it a daydream ?
The beloved one has died again
In the moment she rose from the grave
As if etched in fog

( You don't love her but a lure
Concealing the Mystery of Death)

(-Solo Sylvain-)

I feel it coming - the day of retribution,
Bell tolls, through the haze, strike my soul
I hear the procession chanting
Oh God, will you forgive me ?

I must expel her
I must send her back
I lost my mind walking in the misty hours
Feel the illusion
Feed the obsession
That's been etched in fog
Now I remember
Is it a nightmare ?
The beloved one has never resurrected !
A blaze of anger is burning bright
A golden braid
Around her neck
