Like Petals in the Storm Songtext
von Cawatana

Illusions of the witness
Alone in the certain absence
Craving for the darkness
Completion under misty silence
Irritating beauty
Never need appreciation
Ravishing emotions
Devotion without condemnation


Like petals in the storm
Burning through the wind of cleansing
No escape from the lust
Leave behind the time of wanting
Like petals in the storm
Burning through the wind of cleansing
The reckoning is delayed
Embittered in the everlasting

Regardless of the distance
Secrecy of heartfelt bluster
Surrounded by the untold
Promise of the silken luster
Overshadowed unease
Reach the end of contemplation
Losing bonds in splinters
Never know the incantation


Like petals in the storm
Burning through the wind of cleansing
No escape from the lust
Leave behind the time of wanting
Like petals in the storm
Burning through the wind of cleansing
The reckoning is delayed
Embittered in the everlasting
