The Rest Is Silence Lyrics

The Rest Is Silence lyrics

The tide of advancing humanity has changed the world

False wisdom of
conspicuous reality has driven me mad

Mythical beings of all sorts and
kinds are flying

memory

Forms of which poetry and legend speak I
can't forget



Whatever the horror was

Whenever the truth
appeared

Death far from natural

I found there in my dreams

I
hide the word of perversity

Collected by oddity

I neglet the power
of human brain

Insanity I obey, unworthy and sane



In a dark
space I felt aware

Of a singular accession of fright

As if someone
emanation was engulfing my spirit

Oh! I perveived the source of my
alarm



Thees places being exceeding dark

Twisting perception
and blackness too great

I don't want to be anymore

I shall never
supply a link

In so hideous a chain

of paradoxical seriousness

From these my thoughts escape

I conceived my present fear thunder

Of fire and lightning and unreal

Led by my thoughts to the morbid
chamber

I found the truth the rest is silence



My memories
are very confused

There is even much doubt as to where they begin

I
feel the image of years stretching behind me

My identity, too is
bewilderingly cloudy



I remember how I read the book

I was
aware that I only dreamt

I prayed only for awakening

Instead I've
found myself

So I walked further in my slumber

Now I fear for what
I might find there

I'm alone, there's no god where I am

Is there
fear in your heart?

Where I am you are not

Let my servants be few
and secret
