Unmerciful Thoughts (Verse 1) Be still, you restless shadows, Storms that invade my quietude, Go away, insatiable voices, That cloud my solitude. Enough! I want your thorn no more, Nor the bitter echo of cruel doubt, Silence now is my path, I implore, Peace is the refuge I chose throughout. (Chorus) Oh, thoughts, insane tempest, Why do you haunt me without mercy? My soul cries for a serene morning's rest, For an instant of pure absence, free. (Verse 2) Hush, anguish! Cease your sound, Let the light dispel the dark, May the heart, at last, unbound, Find its own forgiving mark. Be still... Enough of this war. May the wind carry what causes me pain. Today the soul closes to the shore, And learns, at last, to listen again. (Chorus) Oh, thoughts, insane tempest, Why do you haunt me without mercy? My soul cries for a serene morning's rest, For an instant of pure absence, free. (Bridge - Slight shift in melody, more hopeful) The quietude the soul has spun, Where silence is the embrace it has won. No longer a shadow the light won't defeat, Nor cruel voice that makes your heart retreat. (Final / Outro - The Lullaby / Acalanto) Then the world quiets and welcomes you in, In the calm harbor the soul has spun, Where stillness, at last, can begin, And silence is the embrace it has won. No longer a shadow the light won't defeat, Nor cruel voice that makes your heart retreat; Breath itself becomes a sweet plea, And peace, so gentle, is your rhyme, truly. (Fade out instrumental)
