One Tender Kiss (the Lost Seasons) Prelude To The Garden Of Crystalline

I. Wander

Paths of unbound memories

Tangled within the inner depths of love and sorrow

Untrodden by questioning footsteps

Unbroken by deafening silence

II. See

Untended gardens of life

Washed away by rains of death

Beneath my feet, rivers of blood flow soundlessly

Seeds of anguish sown in the soil of my blackened heart

III. Remember

Ripples in the water casting distorted reflections

Over a face I shall never see again

My eternal beauty lost forever to my eyes

IV. Regret

Only to feel, to touch, to love myself again

My life, my soul, my entire existence in this dying world

In exchange for one brief moment of true happiness

All my hopes and dreams in ruin, shattered like shards of

glass...

Thus I am left to heed the wisdom of a fool

I fear no shameless victory nor welcome illustrious defeat

My loneliness ever feeding upon strands of my sanity...

As for now... I shall welcome dreams of majestic gardens
