Lyrics
From the misty dreams of nighttime
Expressing a transition from dreams to reality, seeking clarity in waking life.
I sought the clarity of my days
Searching for understanding and purpose in the course of everyday experiences.
From the shades of longing
Exploring the depths of longing and desire.
Looked for the familiar glow
Looking for the familiar and comforting aspects in life.
The death of my wife's slayer
The death of the person who killed the speaker's wife doesn't bring solace.
Brought no comfort to me
No emotional shape emerges from the loneliness felt after the tragedy.
No shape from lonliness
No specific form or solace found in the depths of loneliness.
For a dream
The dream fails to provide comfort.
A queen of gold I made
Creating an idealized queen with attributes of gold.
A silver bride I built
Crafting a silver bride with care and attention.
From the northern summer night
Drawing inspiration from the beauty of the northern summer night.
From the winter moon
Incorporating elements from the winter moon into the creation.
Responded not my girl

No beating heart I felt
No sense of a beating heart in the crafted being.
I bought no sight to the silver lips
No visual connection with the silver lips of the created entity.
No warmth from gold
No warmth or emotional connection from the golden attributes.
Within my heart a flame of desire
A flame of desire within the speaker's heart is ignited.
Provoked the power of my will
The power of will is triggered by the intense desire.
Forced into a silver shape
Forced transformation into a silver form, creating a golden queen.
A golden queen for me
The crafted figure becomes a golden queen, fulfilling the speaker's desire.
I made our bed under the stars
Creating a symbolic bed under the stars, a space for intimacy.
Cover a plenty, bear skin hide
Providing ample covering, including a bear skin hide.
Stroked the arc of golden cruves
Tenderly touching the curves of the golden figure.
Kissed the lips of silver
Kissing the lips of the silver entity, expressing affection.
A queen of gold I made

A silver bride I built
