In decadence I take thee by the hand
Too frail, to gain the promised land
Too frail, to take your pain away
Too frail, a sequel of decay
May millenniums gather
On the mirage of desolated souls
Far between departure and sorrow
I breed my afterthought
In thy hours of vast dejection's haunt, wane
An angel strays upon my door
So frail and lost within
To weep upon her days of yore
My decadent come in
Her stain and tears upon my floor
The sorrow that she brings
Devotion of a life outworn
In decadence come in
May thy lids desorb
From emerald seas
A pending solitary
Though thy pain redeems,
Life it seems to be
A fragile sanctuary
Too frail, to gain the promised land
Too frail, to take your pain away
Too frail, a sequel of decay
May millenniums gather
On the mirage of desolated souls
Far between departure and sorrow
I breed my afterthought
In thy hours of vast dejection's haunt, wane
An angel strays upon my door
So frail and lost within
To weep upon her days of yore
My decadent come in
Her stain and tears upon my floor
The sorrow that she brings
Devotion of a life outworn
In decadence come in
May thy lids desorb
From emerald seas
A pending solitary
Though thy pain redeems,
Life it seems to be
A fragile sanctuary

I believe the words at the beginning of this song to be:
Checkered by the dawn, enslaved in life enthralling Swept up by the mortal waste of my enslaved emotion Aeons on the gloss in argentine pending Concuria stopping and prevail the conquering angina Concuria stopping and prevail the conquering...
That is very good, did you work that out by listening to it? Well done!
I took other a few people's intepretations from the Tristania forum, merged them, then replaced some words with what sounded more accurate in my view.
