A touching of the soul

It's another expression of emotions post.

One of two good Goth friends who recently moved away from town gave me some music and one song in particular, even though the bands music is far from what I consider the epitome of Goth music, has especially lodged itself in my heart mind and mp3 player :)

Here it appears on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96__CjuzvjM

The lyrics really move me so I'll quote them, especially for those who might not watch the youtube link.

I've seen the terrible hand of struggle
and felt the pain that hubris brings
I have tasted the wisdom of divinity
and the horror of its sting

And though they tell you i am lost
and their words report my death is come
the fates have left me breathing still
very much alive

And though my mind is cut by battles
fought so long ago
I return victorious
I am coming home

And if the paths that I have followed
have tread against the flow
there is no need for sorrow
I am coming home

For the distance I have traveled
upon an ocean of despair
have led me back into your arms once more
an answer to a little prayer

And though they tell you i am lost
and their words report my death is come
the fates have left me breathing still
very much alive

And though my mind is cut by battles
fought so long ago
I return victorious
I am coming home

And if the paths that I have followed
have tread against the flow
there is no need for sorrow
I am coming home
