"Mystery Binds" lyrics

"Mystery Binds"

A child devoured on the western wind
As others were I must have been
Others saw a hovering ring
A dream retrieved from a common spring
The very same source taken
My sorrow at once awakened
Awakened
Awakened
Awakened

We walk apart on the sand and stone
Yet all I've loved, I've loved alone
Silver craft, a stormy dawn
The wretched raft of life is drawn
For every ounce of wasted will
More mystery binds me still

Binds me
Binds me
Binds me
Still

From the vault inside the mountain
All the coins from every fountain
And from the sun that 'round us rolled
Cars and streets everything gold
Lightening dashed, tossed and torn
I, at last, took demon form

All I've loved
I've loved alone
All I've loved
I've loved alone
All I've loved
I've loved alone
All I've loved
I've loved alone
