I never count on yesterday
Because the past can also change
I'll never give myself away
Life is worthwhile on the edge
Words sound so hollow in the cold
Maybe she's forgotten all
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
Signs never told me anything
Nothing I could know for sure
I never knew what she would bring
Or what I am to her today
My words...
Almost swallowed by the snow
Maybe she's forgotten all
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
She is the poison in my mind
The thorns in my head
She has no mountain to be climbed
No faults to regret
I never count on yesterday
Because the past may not exist
I'll never give myself away
When there's reason to resist
Words draped in crystals melt away
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
Because the past can also change
I'll never give myself away
Life is worthwhile on the edge
Words sound so hollow in the cold
Maybe she's forgotten all
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
Nothing I could know for sure
I never knew what she would bring
Or what I am to her today
My words...
Almost swallowed by the snow
Maybe she's forgotten all
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
The thorns in my head
She has no mountain to be climbed
No faults to regret
Because the past may not exist
I'll never give myself away
When there's reason to resist
Words draped in crystals melt away
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow

hmmm, i think this should go i between "lost and damned" and "the mourning after". ariel thinking and worrying about helena. nice song
Great song. The sound lies in the balance between Epica and the Black Halo so well.
Generally, the meaning of the song is that Ariel cannot rely on his previous good deeds to save Helena. He must actively seek out a way to save her; he's gotta become the hero.
Although Ariel is weighed down heavy by his misdeed of leaving his wife, he must exert himself further in his wandering to save her, the very act that made her die in the first place.
