Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
|
Don't turn away, don't turn away
|
|
Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
|
Don't turn away, don't try to hide
|
|
Sulphurous and burning, spitting out the sun
|
The beginning of creation, of the golden one
|
A window to the west, a blazing star above
|
In Taurus we begin it and the ladder has begun
|
|
Don't try and blame me for your sins
|
|
For the sun has burned me black
|
|
Your hollow lives, this world in which we live
|
|
I throw it back
|
Four-headed dragon for the four degrees of fire
|
Purify the insane, bring the solution ever higher
|
Bring me all the elements, spread them round my head
|
Bring me mad men's bodies, I will break them all like bread
|
|
Don't try and blame me for your sins
|
|
For the sun has burned me black
|
|
Your hollow lives, this world in which we live
|
|
I hurl it back
|
|
Don't try and blame me for your sins
|
|
For the sun has burned me black
|
|
Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
|
|
I throw it back
|
|
Don't try and blame me for your games
|
|
Your games are death
|
|
My world is light, the angels fill my eyes
|
|
With every breath
|
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
|
Our chemical wedding day
|
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
|
Our chemical wedding day
|
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
|
Our chemical wedding day
|
