With you, the twilight changes, wandering through the silent dreamsWith you, the twilight changes, wandering through the silent dreams,

Hostages to the droplets of waves and kings over...

Lost Love Deliria - Part 3 Part 3
9th Delerium: Emptyness
Water wheels in wastelands... turning,

Rumpled rags of fashioned burlap... burning,

forest fairies under thumb
Sounds inside of cauldrons coughing......

about this mix
of sacred and profane
if he were to...
