In The Mist She Was Standing

Opeth

Seven milestones.....

Under a whatching autumn eye

Contorted trees are spreding forth

The message of the wind



With frozen hands I rode with the stars



With anger the wind blew

Giving wings to my stallion

Clouds gathered across the moon

Blazing, the white light



Passing the lake I know so well

I am near, yet so far away



Arrival.....



I saw her shadow (standing) in the darkness

Awaiting me like the night

Awaits the day

Standing silent smiling at my presence

A black candle holds the only light



Darkness encloses

And the candleseem to expire

In her cold, cold hand

And as a forlorn soul

It will fade away



Touching her flesh in this night

My blood froze forever

Embraced before the dawn

A kiss brought total eclipse



And she spoke

Once and forever

I am so cold

In mist enrobed the twilight

She was standing....
