lyrics

I’ve learned to speak your name
Ever so softly
To conjure up your face
Aloof and lovely
Perhaps your ghost will stay
If I move slowly
And if I never think of all that hides In the corner of my eye
Close behind

Tumbling leaves of brown
All through September
Beneath a fading sun
A dying ember
The season came undone
But I remember
The bright lights
The sacred and obscene
And everything in-between
No-one knows
From my lament a world arose

And as I try to walk away
Before the storm
The torn remains of broken stars
Come raining down
The world indifferent holds its tongue
All is the same
Like something almost being said

I’ve learned to speak your name
Ever so softly
To conjure up your face
Dead and lovely
And when in mute despair I reached in vain
You were already
Loosened like long hair
Poured out like fallen rain
No longer mine

And as I try to walk away
Before the storm
The torn remains of broken stars
Come raining down
The world indifferent holds its tongue
All is the same
Like something almost being said

And when I speak your name
I can make believe
You’ll almost nearly
Not quite hear me
I close my eyes and think of death
As long as I can hold my breath
You’re almost barely
Not quite near me

When I speak your name

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE

supported by 4 fans who also own “Like Fallen Rain”

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes
