I cross myself and kneel down
The flame I lit sheds white light on her face
Morta holding the thread taut
Your shears steely and so bright
Cutting the years I’ve left
I cross myself and kneel down
The blood drips down her face
Rinse my veins utterly the river Lethe
I choose oblivion and I am free
Open my eyes I chant Your name
Pray that I’ll remember who I am
I am bound to a world that is wrought
With guilt and indecision
I will choose to remember
Every face of every person
I recall and yearn for the time that
We sailed through those days immortal
A sunrise just around the bend
I sing of the past but am
Finding it so hard not to cry
The River Lethe gently calls
And to her depths my spirit falls
In her sweet waters I forget
Perhaps this river will pull me to the sea
