Watching the Willows Burn

Lay where you lay Alone in the blue Singing secret songs again Giving away the gold of the night Casting shadows on the time Way far away they're pulling you down Sing your secret song again Love has a way to carry the sound Wrapped in riddles til the end Sacred birth New thorns in the ground Paves the way for river's gold And a Hollow face Beaten & now throw A hand in mine that fell Useless arrows in my heart Burn my two skins Layer upon layer Sent down stream Open eyes with hollow mouths And then I Whisper in the Reeds And I'm about to find out touching winter's hidden warmth Useless arrows in my heart The words were shimmering The curse was written in the cloth The light was flickering Watching willows burning in the dark Naming the days they've stricken you out Sing a secret song again Fear in the air had sown many doubts But we never saw the signs Why Selene, shine for me Casting bitter paves a path My rebirth leans onto death Weave and wax now disappear The taste of sweetness running out See the new dawn as I rise Casting bitter paves a path A hundredth hour passing by Seven planes beyond my sight And not one of us can block the sun The taste of sweetness running out The see-ers shuddering The rakehells rapping at the door The masses muttering Watching willows burning in the dark
