The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
02:20
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
02:27
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
02:33
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
02:37
02:44
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
02:47
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
02:52
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
02:57
It's not enough, it's not enough
03:02
03:20
His blood has frozen and curdled with fright
03:32
His knees have trembled and given way in the night
03:37
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
03:42
His step has faltered
03:47
03:50
One world, one soul
03:57
Time pass, the river roll
04:07
04:47
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
05:17
And silent replies that swirl invitation
05:22
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
05:27
A grim intimation of what is to be
05:32
05:40
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
05:42
And there's dust in my eyes that blinds my sight
05:47
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
05:52
Of promises broken
05:57
06:01

Lyrics & Translation
[English]
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
...
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
...
His blood has frozen and curdled with fright
His knees have trembled and given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
...
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river roll
...
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
...
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken
