Nocryma - shadow/flower Lyrics

Invisible strand
Invisible kill
Made the small flies hover still
Round my door
Evermore
Round my door
No great distance to be found
Shades of grey, brown, and green surround
Those joyless church bells do resound
In the ears of hardly anyone at all
Save for the dead

I've got time like a clock
I've got life
Like a flower in the sun
Sewing seeds that swiftly die
Spreading lies that multiply

Like a flower in the sun
Small, weak
But full of life
Endlessly giving

Another tale
Another story to be told
No one ever hears the words
Like a shadow
And like these fables
I slip away
Yet Im always there

Like a shadow in the sun
Tall, dark
But full of life
But full of life
Endlessly taking
Endlessly taking
