Aura [Cover]

Though people say this world’s no work of trickery, no - I must retain, time and again, my incredulity! And only I could make your flame die Yes, I alone, and none other than me And to you was born a soul with hair so like your own So finely entwining into the world Into all its little scenes of things - All brushed out in silence with an unspeaking comb! Across the trembling soup, I call out to you To that bird now picking at the blooms: Two faces in profile joined Neglected so long, oh, it’s no wonder they are hurt Like the old and used umbrella abandoned Just outside the front door I myself am The one extraordinary feather that you carry Who begs for love from you and asks for nothing other! And in omnipotence, oh, were you my whole foundation Almighty… Almighty… Ah~ Though people say this world’s no work of trickery, no - I must retain, time and again, my incredulity! And only I could make your flame die Yes, I alone, and none other than me Gathering the threads, all the braided silk is frayed It all comes apart right here on my knees Was this all ordained? Was fraying this thread’s fate As if it were written there in its genes? Deep dreams desired by the soul Are, oh, nothing more Than bare-faced facts rolled up in a drawer Moonlight will guide you to this same truth And then you’ll sit down in that rickety chair With its cushions stopgap comforting peace of mind Oh, given to you! I myself am Seen through a keyhole, that same pensive glimpse of heaven There to enumerate the beauties of each season! Once was your voice all my light and also all my shadows Almighty… Almighty… Ah~ How many times must your eyes be taught by deep ice Of winters cold how naught at all can surpass my love To that extreme you’ll follow with me, With me alone, and none other than me Come to me, oh, come to me, and take me in your arms There’s no cause for a fright! What it means to love, at last, we shall know, oh, we two We two… We two… We two… We two… This one extraordinary feather that you carry Now begs for love from you and asks for nothing other! And in omnipotence, oh, were you my whole foundation Almighty… Almighty… Ah~ Though people say this world’s no work of trickery, no - I must retain, time and again, my incredulity! And only I could make your flame die Yes, I alone, and none other than me
