Duende

Like a demon, like a ghostBalancing on nerves, dancing on the edgeLike a wheel or a dreamSpinning endlessly, spinning helplesslyA painted drama, a feverish restraintAn unspoken trauma in sweltering nightsLike a ray of light that stains a bitter sweetnessInto the darkest wineA dark chimera wide awakeSipping from the lifebloodI drank, drank from youI drank wine like bloodBlood like wineAnd the magic sounds of inspirationI learned, learned from youA hidden secretBlack as rainMoving me, moving on and onThis is the way of the mysticInto the eyes of godThis is the weight the moves the handThis is the hand that moves the stoneA ravaged beauty, unfeeling and unsafeA power that resides in the labyrinth of soundThis is a fire that ignites itselfThis is a mystery of artSo much more than craft or chemistryGabriel 'gainst AzraelYou spoke, spoke to meA silent prayerFor the painAnd the driving force of desperationYou sang, sang to meHaunting songs of hopeAnd songs of doubtMoving me, moving on and onA force like lightning over mountainsA permanent diseaseIt's you and me togetherOn a highway without endI drank, drank from youI drank wine like bloodBlood like wineAnd the magic sounds of inspirationI learned, learned from youA hidden secretBlack as rainMoving me, moving on and on
