Naked dying, proud of what I am
I dream and invite my fading soul
Observing human sphere at all atone
Swanlike I turn away from your despair
Can't you see there's no beg for pardon
Swanlike I turn away from your despair
A noble heart forever dying
Under a fading lamp half dressed my brain
Idling on some compulsive remain
I towel my shaven jaw and stare
Riveted by a dark exhausted flair
Swanlike I turn away from your despair
Naked dying, proud of what I am
Swanlike I turn away from your despair
Idling on some compulsive remain
I look into my glass and view my wasting skin
And say "would God it came to pass"
My heard has shrunk as thin
For then I undistrest by hearts grown cold to me
Could lonely wait my endless rest with equanimity
For the time being I return
Now plainly in the mirror of my soul
I read that I have looked my last on youth
And little more for they are not made whole
That reach the age of fallen Christ
A silent flight takes me away
From this ignorant world
A final cry deep in that night
Swanlike I turn away
My inspiration
Burning flames; glistening sounds
Sapphire-dark and marrow-deep, silence around us
Under a fading moon
Will you ever be swanlike
I will celebrate myself again Naked dying, proud of what I am I dream and invite my fading soul Observing human sphere at all atone Swanlike I turn away from your despair Can't you see there's no beg for pardon Swanlike I turn away from your despair A noble heart forever dying Under a fading lamp half dressed my brain Idling on some compulsive remain I towel my shaven jaw and stare Riveted by a dark exhausted flair Swanlike I turn away from your despair Naked dying, proud of what I am Swanlike I turn away from your despair Idling on some compulsive remain I look into my glass and view my wasting skin And say "would God it came to pass" My heard has shrunk as thin For then I undistrest by hearts grown cold to me Could lonely wait my endless rest with equanimity For the time being I return Now plainly in the mirror of my soul I read that I have looked my last on youth And little more for they are not made whole That reach the age of fallen Christ A silent flight takes me away From this ignorant world A final cry deep in that night Swanlike I turn away My inspiration Burning flames; glistening sounds Sapphire-dark and marrow-deep, silence around us Under a fading moon Will you ever be swanlike Explain Request ×
