Lyrics
[Premiere lecon]
I looked into the eyes of the basilisk
Beside the shores Of silver streaming sadness to be She came to me disguised as melpomene Like asphodels winding through the chasms of heaven We were passing along the waves of the ocean And slowly reaching the gates of the sun
The beams of the night preceding me.. The streams of light preluding you..
The walls were weeping blood But feverish was our waiting, love You once cherished our embrace That day the horizon was weeping nights The instants of time were running low And every shape set like bronze Reminded me of your name
The shore landscaping your face.. The sea piercing through your eyes.. A sea died from the salt of our tears
As the scale of a pearl preventing her from being an eye for the sun I am but death and stain within you As the foaming quiver of life softly soiling the surface of ennui You are the dream in me
Surround me with colours I am longing to see And shadow that light upon me
Sear me in a sea of snakes
