Lied Von Leid

Once more you near me
Wavering apparition
A turbid haze every time you alight
Oft’ have you come at dead of night
And pressed me
Will I yield to your petition?

Let go of your longing for (truth)
A transcending meaning
You conjure up fleeting (thoughts)
Dreams and wonders

Old grief revives a fair love
Wrapped round my neck
Remember fond caress, a silken dress
Tears lave my heart
Which by fortune was cheated
To believe the universe
Held answers I needed

Time spent searching for knowledge of
The world through the faculty of reason

Let go of your longing for (truth)
A transcending meaning
You conjure up fleeting (thoughts)
Dreams and wonders

If I could only find
Our true nature through my mind

What lies beyond doesn’t interest me
It’s this moon that shines down
Onto my sorrows
What this means to me becomes existence
