an invite to eternity - ian venables lyrics

wilt thou go with me, sweet maid?
say, maiden, wilt thou go with me?
through the valley*depths of shade
of night and dark obscurity?
where the path has lost its way
where the sun forgets the day;
where there’s nor life nor light to see
sweet maiden, wilt thou go with me?

where stones will turn to flooding streams
where plains will rise like ocean’s waves
where life will fade like vision’d dreams
and mountains darken into caves?
say, maiden, wilt thou go with me
through this sad non*identity;
where parents live and are forgot
and sisters live and know us not?

say, maiden, wilt thou go with me
in this strange death of life to be;
to live in death and be the same
without this life or home or name?
at once to be, and not to be
that was and is not, yet to see
things pass like shadows, and the sky
above, below, around us lie?
the land of shadows wilt thou trace
nor look nor know each other’s face;
the present marr’d with reason gone
and past and present both as one?
say, maiden, can thy life be led
to join the living and the dead? **
then trace thy footsteps on with me
we are wed to one eternity
