Lyrics - Alone by Arcturus

Poem by
Edgar
Allan
Poe
From childhood's hour
I have not been
As others were -
I have not seen
As others saw -
I could not bring
My passions from a common spring
From the same source
I have not taken
My sorrow;
I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all
I lov'd,
I lov'd alone
Then - in my childhood - in the dawn
Of a most stormy life - was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In it's autumn tint of gold -
From the lighting in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by -
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that look the form(
When the rest of
Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
