Story Behind the Song
For a moment I knew ALL was possible,
through a single pair of eyes.
But she was just as afraid
as I.
In memory of beautiful dreams that will never be.
Lyrics
SUITE TWENTY EIGHT
w/m antonio echeverria
4/3/98
Me arrepiento que nunca vere
la dulzura que solo ella pudo ser
Si hubiera sabido el dolor
que me causaria
el mover la mirada por solo una pulgada,
me hubiera arrancado los ojos
para salvar mi corazon
del ardor cuando volteaste,
el ardor que nunca se desaparese
(I regret that I will never see the sweetness only she could have been
If I had known the pain my eyes would cause me by looking away that inch
I would have pulled them out to save my heart the sting of her turn away
The sting that has never left)
REQUIEM w/m antonio echeverria
1/15/99
The first one to move me since
I hardly even remember when
Came like a witch to the past
from a future that I'll never have been
She smiled with her eyes only
through them I could almost see
a deep, dark forest green, by waterfall streams
The first time my mind believed
real joy could be, she was there with me
walking through the webs of sunlight
under the wise and ancient trees
So scared, she hid from the warm night
only her and I could share
to be alone in the dark as always
She and I had been there
Guarding the fire from her secret cave
Beneath the gray moss, by the flower covered graves
of all the beautiful things that we are all so afraid to be
You back away from me, so I don't get the wrong idea
The last time I saw bewitchment live
in the dark, she was so light
A quiet emerald pair of eyes
afraid of me, the stream ran dry
She left my cold life to let me cry
for no good reason
Flowers grow, where I lie, on all the graves
I still know
