The Black Opal by Lisa Gerrard Lyrics

In rivers frail, where sunlight pales
And swarms fall into trance
The acid rain, gives fruit to pain
I cannot bear to glance
Its poison arrows cause to grow
The truth in all I see
Unfinished love is born beneath
The dying apple tree
It comes to wound, the liquid moon
That melts within their hearts
So frail the cries, from those that die
Harpooned upon our darts
We say we love, yet cannot see
The error of our ways
A pain ingrained, eternally
For crimes we do not pay
As there lay dead, the innocent
We've dispossessed with lies
For closed, for all eternity
Are ghosts of weeping eyes
Dust storms, swarm and warn
But still we do not listen
We drown within the sands of time
Lamenting those that glistened
With a last remaining memory
Of a pure black dolphin's eye
Their murderers will bear their bane
Too late to rectify
