Lyrics
The Departure
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How come are you here
Two decades since nightfall
The night was to be forever
The dark was said to last
The wine of departure
A potion bitter at first
Shall one leave a mark
Or be a mark oneself
To depart is to return
To leave is to stay it is said
To decide is to hesitate
Next decade will wait for me
A new night will fall like a backward dawn
A new dark will rise like an inverted sun
Yet one will not depart
How come am I here
Ten years after midnight
The night was said to be forever
The dark was said to last
The wine of departure
A potion sweet with time
Shall one leave a mark
Or be a mark oneself
To depart is to return
To leave is to stay it is said
To decide is to hesitate
Next decade will wait for me
I will be here then
And everthing will be true
