Oh, what lies as these fires silently rise Signs piercing the sun Darkness where there was none The dead queen and one who has yet to die Crimson tides flowing fluid and wild Draw those tears and kneel to the blade Blood will flow, greener grass to grow Worry not, your time here was well
Oh, cruel storm Cruel sailor, cruel land They take what they'd sooner sell To some foreign land From my highest tower I see just how he stands and sways Whispered my lie There is a happy land For the weary maid Oh, splendid lady Steals time with your heels I watched your eyes fill with delight As your hounds take the wild fox down You're wicked, ugly Wines placed at your side The black thorns might be smarter But then they might be free Light darkness once more Light my sailor's home again With a vaguely crueler kind As light bleeds from the sky I watch our heart die Cold moonbeams lived my time Pass, true loves, by once more And it will be splendid
Our chemical devotions of the night Bring endless labyrinths of vines to light
Your silent spell won’t bring you home tonight You couldn’t open up your face to light
All that blossoms all that blooms lies fallow in the night Waits for the golden sunlight All that blossoms all that blooms lies fallow in the night Waits for the golden sunlight
Our chemical devotions of the night De-sanguinate limbs veined with valleys of light
Children of stone your crystal gauges of light Crowned on you
