Crystal Ocean Of Tears

Alone, and looking out at the vast ocean

I feel all my dreams dying, one by one

The memories I thought lost are reappearing

The waves cast them at my feet like so much junk

But what if it was best to all forget?

With anger and regret

With bitterness and rage

I'm left crying on the beach

My tears are better than the ocean

At wiping out my traces on the strand

In the breakers I can see some faces spinning

In the eddies I must seek them at the edge

My memories are swirled up in the water

My hopes are swallowed up in the abyss

What can I do now to avert my doom?

In my ravaged tearful face I catch a glimpse of yours

Such an object of desire to now forego!

From your distant untouched lips comes forth no word to me

Just the caress that of your hand one night I felt

And what if it is best to forget you?

With anger and regret

With bitterness and rage

I'm left crying on the beach

My tears are better than the ocean

At wiping out my traces on the strand

In the breakers I can see some faces spinning

In the eddies I must seek them at the edge

My memories are swirled up in the water

My hopes are swallowed up in the abyss

What can I do now to avert my doom?

What can I do now to avert my doom?

Opus Doria

All my broken dreams, my distant memories

All those far-off, unknown, human shapes

I just don't know what it's all done to me!

I just deliver myself to its dread embrace

As I sought you through those wild crystal waters

From the depths the wrecks of memory re-appear

Dragged up by demented mermaids are the treasures

That I hoped no more to find!

And now my cries are borne away

By raging waves and tearing skies

The howling wind, my tears, dries off my cheeks

And now at last I can know who I am!
