lyrics

- DARKNESS RISING -

. all my possessions, a bargain I will make - not for my own sake - for a moment of time - what will you give me, standing so cold & sere? - all that is in me cries to be heard again .

. now I am here, and the door is wide - once I passed inside, though I was born - is there no power, no high throne of desire - so that I could stay just a moment of time .

. once all came to greet me - now must I fall completely? - all my possessions - for a moment of time .
