Akka (Mother)

Leave me now with the shadow of a dream A light caress that barely touched my mind Only a whisper yet it screamed in my ear Never to return but I'll never forget The mistress of death holds you dear It's hard to believe but you've known her for years All is done and there's no more to say An unspoken promise takes you away Touch me once and then never again With the midnight air hanging upon your breath Wrapped in dreams and safe from the world In silent peace your wings unfurl The mistress of death holds you dear It's hard to believe but you've known her for years All is done and there's no more to say An unspoken promise takes you away Leave me now with the shadow of a dream...
