What Was Dreamt and Lived Songtext
von Opera Magna

Now time is exhausted
Silence has spread over the realm
Let the tide transform, rise and sweep me along the sea

What is it, this mystery?
What′s the strength of this helpless god?
What 's the real reason for me feeling this endless hurt?

I want to know
Why long ago
I put my life at your feet
No longer will verses speak of me
Together we must march on to oblivion

Just take me there
The place where there is no pain
It burns again
This decrepit damage
I′m dragging this condemnation
The trap that time seems to invoke
The tragedy evoked


Let the flame extinguish
Leave the games suspended behind
Let all the wicked passion perish and be confined

Now I am your master
Your soul is forever enshrined
Though if you try to escape
Your poor fate will be defined

I want to know
What is this void?
After you there is nothing
Strong is the stone that you want to break
Today you will shed tears fearing oblivion

Just take me there
The place where there is no pain
It burns again
This decrepit damage
I'm dragging this condemnation
The future foretold
Impossible to behold


Descending from my eyes
The most somber of tears
The last and final sigh
Of my iron will

There, wherever your soul sails
A cold stone will be carried
Walking through silent trails
With howls through the cracks you're harried

All the passions that one day
Fought against wind and storm
Now are incapable to break
Into two this old, bulky stone

It is not Time that will catch you
Since you′re honest and don′t lie
Yet when the last trace is viewed
The grim reaper will come by

Everything will be covered
You'll be dragged down to oblivion
Memories forever shuttered
What was dreamt and lived delirium!

Broken was
This once permanent seal
The Nothingness will be
Witness to your humanity

Let this dream culminate
Let this moment fade away
So this withered flower
Can be allowed to decay

Free of this enchantment
Now in peace I contemplate
Lowering the curtain
How the end has become my fate

I want to know
Why long ago
I put my life at your feet
No longer will verses speak of me
Together we must march on to oblivion

Just take me there
The place where there is no pain
It burns again
This decrepit damage
I′m dragging this condemnation
The trap that time seems to invoke

Cry now for me
I won't feel any more pain
You won′t feel any more pain

(It) won't burn again
Decrepit damage
This decrepit damage

I′m dragging in this condemnation
My sad hollow soul
My exhausted body
You're the witness of the end
Of pain and loneliness
