lyrics

One night,
One night,
Bad dreams I found
A tale within my sleep
But failed this tail to grasp my limbs
And away did stray from me

So dim the light of morning time
And dim my eyes to see
What since has left I must invent
And the rest, attempt to retrieve

A golden ring I saw, in sand
No hand to pull it out
The morbid sea let tide roll in
The ring within its mouth

The mouth, then, of a newborn babe
Became the raging sea
But cry did not, this child aloud
No voice could he release

Now grown, this baby, to a man
Could sing no notes of grief
Nor happiness, with voice repressed
His eyes were left to speak

From man to wife and wife to child
A ring a golden wreath
A loces lament upon his hand
Its curse was his to keep

One windy night, as often he had watched upon the dunes,
The silent dialogue between the muted and the moon

And twisting off the ring he found the skin now bruised beneath,
The heavy band he threw into the darkness of the dream

As I could feel the waking world invade my head I heard
A frightened sound, a cry as loud as any newborn's first
