Fling - Where Eternity Lies

The grey veil has covered the country again
And the raindrops have started their song
Autumn will marry in winter
And her veil will be white before long

The cuckoo will call no more in the trees
And the doves to their shelters have fled
Over the cold northern seas, my love
And the oak trees their leaves they have bled

And my heart it lies sleeping and waiting
For the light to return to your eyes
When your gaze will fall on my wanderings again
I will roam where eternity lies

The moors where we met when the light kissed the earth
Now lie breathing in ghostly adorn
The stars hide away from the dance of the flames
That of pain and forgetting were born

And my heart it lies sleeping and waiting
For the light to return to your eyes
When your gaze will fall on my wanderings again
I will roam where eternity lies Intermezzo

Whiteness has covered the tears that were spent
And the snow it has dampened all sound
I cannot hear what was said in the haze
Between souls that in anguish were bound

Hades has stolen Persephone’s heart
And the apple has bound her in chains
Orpheus plays at the banks of the Styx
But his love he will nevermore gain

And my heart it lies sleeping and waiting
For the light to return to your eyes
When your gaze will fall on my wanderings again
I will roam where eternity lies

And my heart it lies sleeping and waiting
For the light to return to your eyes
When your gaze will fall on my wanderings again
I will roam where eternity lies
