The Mirror-Blue Night

[Boys] Flip on a switch, and everything's fine – No more lips, no more tongue, no more ears, no more eyes The naked blue angel, who peers through the blinds Disappears in the gloom of the mirror-blue night [Melchior] But there's nowhere to hide from these bones, from my mind It's broken inside – I'm a man and a child I'm at home with a ghost, who got left in the cold Who knocks at my peace, with no keys to my soul [Boys] And the whispers of fear, the chill up the spine Will steal away too, with a flick of the light The minute you do, with fingers so blind You remove every but of the blue from your mind [Melchior] But there's nowhere to hide from the ghost in my mind It's cold in these bones – of a man and a child And there's no one who knows, and there's nowhere to go There's no one to see who can see to my soul
