Insominium’s Lilian, from Anno 1696

A reaction and commentary to Lilian from Insomnium’s album Anno 1696.

Lyrics for Lilian

Maiden at the lake shore
Sunlight’s dance on waves
Lilies and heathers
Sweet scent in the air

And her hair is auburn
Like the bark on pine
In the wind it flutters
Blazing in summer breeze

I dare not even raise my voice
I dare not even move or breathe

I see a bare white shoulder
A dark mark on her back
Shape like a moth’s wing
Sign of the nightly paths

I drift in twilight
I stray into the dusk
I’m lost in her eyes

And there I tremble before her
There I stand without the words

Bewitching eyes are staring
Piercing right through me
Deep into my wishes
And deep into my soul
