Only In My Tears It Lasts Lyrics
overhead my spirit flies
in plasticide and crimson skies
whispering winds in moonlit wood
a totem oak once golden stood
how i wish that you were here
before all flowers disappeared
we'd lay together in the sun
before the mindrape had begun
now stones are falling from my hands
are shaking all my beloved land
and only in my tears it lasts
in plasticide and crimson skies
whispering winds in moonlit wood
a totem oak once golden stood
how i wish that you were here
before all flowers disappeared
we'd lay together in the sun
before the mindrape had begun
now stones are falling from my hands
are shaking all my beloved land
and only in my tears it lasts

Another song about lost love and betrayal. Here he is musing how good it felt to be with this person... before the mind rape had begun... Mind rape sounds like extreme manipulation. Perhaps this person turned out to be a sociopath and gas lit him before he discovered the truth.
I love this one. Tiamat always touch my soul!
Is not great music all about that? :)

I believe it's about a person addicted to drugs.
"A totem oak once golden stood" might refer to the person as once being full of life before their narcotic addiction.
"We'd lay together in the sun before the mindrape had begun" could talk about someone being in temporary bliss before the negative aftereffects of drugs took over, typically being extreme anxiety, depression, stress, or paranoia.
"Now stones are falling from my hands are shaking all my beloved land" could be their life falling apart as a result of their addiction
"A watery glimpse back on my past" refers to them remembering the days before their addiction
"And only in my tears it lasts" refers to their guilt and regret of becoming addicted to narcotics, only being able to cope through further drug use.
