Pacidy, my love,
Glowing ember of evening,
Your eyes are frozen with guilt.
I read my fate on your cheeks,
The smoldering coals of a passion,
Once a meadow of hope.
Days of minstrels and bright steeds,
Autumn nights and silk sheets.
Your tender battle shadow on me
Scented lavender kisses, soft and warm,
The union of strength in a love against life,
Love against life.
Pacidy, my love,
Your touch, so limp, was once frenzied,
Your argon lips were once sweet.
A life has slipped through my hands,
My spirits sift in a stale sigh.
Did love exist as a dream?
Mother fawn of a pine wood,
Shepherdess of my grief,
Veils a freedom not for me
Far beyond the steep ridge, where blizzards
Blast the spirit of man, the frailest of beasts,
Frailest of beasts.
Where blizzards
Blast the spirit of man, the frailest of beasts,
Frailest of beasts.
Where blizzards
Blast the spirit of man, the frailest of beasts,
Frailest of beasts.
