The Drapery Falls Lyrics

The Drapery Falls

Please remedy my confusion 
And thrust me back to the day 
The silence of your seclusion 
Brings night into all you say 
 
Pull me down again 
And guide me into pain 
 
I’m counting nocturnal hours 
Drowned visions in haunted sleep 
Faint flickering of your powers 
Leaks out to show what you keep 
 
Pull me down again 
And guide me into 
 
Solo: Åkerfeldt 
 
There is failure inside 
This test I can’t persist 
Kept back by the enigma 
No criterias demanded here 
Deadly patterns made my wreath 
Prosperous in your ways 
Pale ghost in the corner 
Pouring a caress on your shoulder 
 
Puzzled by shrewd innocence 
Runs a thick tide beneath 
Ushered into inner graves 
Nails bleeding from the struggle 
It is the end for the weak at heart 
Always the same 
A lullaby for the ones who’ve lost all 
Reeling inside 
My gleaming eye in your necklace reflects 
Stare of primal regrets 
You turn your back and you walk away 
Never again 
 
Spiralling to the ground below 
Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade away 
Waking up to your sound again 
And lapse into the ways of misery
