The Crown of Leaving
...And so we take the gift of cryingand bask in the fire of pastthe grandeous hope undyingthe wish will fall at last...So this is the sweetest choiceunhearing gate unhearing breathembrace the stigma of the voicethe kiss of life the kiss of death...Bewitch the sense of the forgottendisarm the fear of all the painwhen all what hurts is slowly rottenit's the symbol's garden's gain...And now it's the triumph of leavinglet all your tears behindtake farewell of all the griefingit's only your eternal mind...Leave it all in serenadesthe only real love is between your gracetake a look behind the gatesblack is blue and haze is haze...
