Lyrics
The last thing I remember
I was nurturing life
When a dark angel descended, upon my right
My right to work
In the fields of love
Was removed from one, not sent from above
Oblivion
Water of lethe, now run through my mind
My way back to the fields, I long to find
Those fields are full
Of a harvest so grand
The power of the wind, I'm not sure I'll withstand
Oblivion
An uncertain future is what I face
There's no time to keep here in this place
All I see is infinite space
No sounds, no smell, no sense of taste
I'll I know seems to be erased
From bathing in the sun, to wanting to run
Away from bad dreams that can't be undone
Life's not what it seems, when all is said and done
Caught up in Oblivion, Oblivion
Nourish me with nepenthe
Warm nectar from the gods
Bear in the mind the storm came down very hard
