Shades of Deep Green Songtext
von Insomnium

This path leads into dark

In shrouding veil of thickening dusk
In the caress of darkening woods
There winds my path, narrow and fading

Let this twilight linger upon me
Moon and stars take over when sun has fled
And bring her scent to me
Bring her scent to me

May the blowing of winds cease
And all birds fall silent from singing
May the dreary waters lay still
And hands of time stop turning

So in forms of evening mist
I can feel her slender grace
In shades of deep green
I can drown in her tender eyes


Now that her light has gone away
All the searching has led astray
These journeys are filled with craving
These moments with loss

What a cruel world
Left for me to roam alone
What a scornful fate
Took my light away

Neither the glittering dew on moors
Nor the the whispering wind in dales
But only these shadows of green
Can remind me of her
Can remind me of her

May the blowing of winds cease
And all birds fall silent from singing
May the dreary waters lay still
And hands of time stop turning

So in forms of evening mist
I can feel her slender grace
In shades of deep green
I can drown in her tender eyes


What a cruel world
Left for me to roam alone
What a scornful fate
Took my light away

What a cruel world
Left for me to roam alone
What a scornful fate
Took my light away
