[00:35.220]The moon, she hangs like a cruel Portrait
[00:38.680]soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
[00:42.430]as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
[00:46.250]and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
[00:50.010]But oh, no tears please
[00:56.080]Fear and pain may accompany death
[00:59.390]But it is desire that shepherds its certainty
[01:04.010]as we shall see......
[01:09.800]
[01:11.670]She was divinity's creature
[01:14.640]That kissed in cold mirrors
[01:17.150]A Queen of Snow...
[01:20.080]Far beyond compare
[01:21.830]Lips attuned to symmetry
[01:23.930]Sought her everywhere
[01:25.810]Dark liquored eyes
[01:27.440]An Arabian nightmare
[01:29.330]
[01:31.370]She shone on watercolours
[01:33.200]Of my pondlife as pearl
[01:38.540]Until those who couldn't have her
[01:40.620]Cut her free of this world
[01:42.660]
[01:43.360]That fateful Eve when...
[01:46.050]The trees stank of sunset and camphor
[01:50.140]Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
[01:53.650]An inquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
[01:57.480]On my love picking rue by the light of the Moon
[02:01.760]
[02:02.200]Putting reason to flight
[02:04.190]Or to death as their way
[02:06.930]They crept through woods mesmerised
[02:09.490]By the taffeta ley
[02:11.510]Of her hips that held sway
[02:14.540]Over all they surveyed
[02:16.220]Save a mist on the rise
[02:17.810](A deadly blessing to hide)
[02:21.800]Her ghost in the fog
[02:24.470]
[02:25.500]They raped and left...
[02:26.670](Five men of God)
[02:29.320]...Her ghost in the fog
[02:34.680]
[02:35.320]Dawn discovered her there
[02:37.240]Beneath the Cedars stare
[02:39.260]Silk dress torn, her raven hair
[02:41.050]Flown to Gown, Her beauty bared
[02:42.880]Was starred with frost, I knew her lost
[02:44.850]I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer
[02:46.300]
[02:48.090]She'd sworn me vows in fragrant blood
[02:50.780]"Never to part
[02:52.000]Lest jealous heaven stole our hearts"
[02:54.050]
[02:54.590]Then this I screamed
[02:56.120]"Come back to me. for
[02:58.300]I was born in Love with thee
[02:59.690]So why should fate stand inbetween?"
[03:03.220]
[03:09.080]And as I drowned her gentle curves
[03:10.890]With Dreams unsaid and final words
[03:12.780]I espied a gleam trodden to Earth
[03:14.750]The Church bell tower key...
[03:28.120]
[03:31.280]The village mourned her by the by
[03:34.920]For she'd been a witch
[03:36.790]Their men had longed to try
[03:40.420]And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
[03:44.430]My tortured soul on ice
[03:58.430]
[03:58.830]A Queen of snow
[04:01.240]Far beyond compare
[04:03.130]Lips attuned to Symmetry
[04:05.010]Sought her everywhere
[04:07.630]Trappistine eyes
[04:08.710]An Arabian nightmare
[04:11.080]
[04:12.230]She was Erzulie possessed
[04:14.360]Of a milky white skin
[04:19.830]My porcelain Yin
[04:21.750]A graceful Angel of sin
[04:24.130]
[04:26.260]And so for her...
[04:27.660]The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
[04:31.510]My lantern chased her phantom and blew
[04:34.910]Their chapel ablaze and all locked into a pain
[04:39.130]Best reserved for judgement that their bible
[04:41.540]construed...
[04:42.940]
[04:43.350]Putting reason to flight
[04:45.180]Or to flame unashamed
[04:47.910]I swept from cries mesmerised
[04:50.830]By the taffeta ley
[04:52.850]Of her hips that held sway
[04:55.490]Over all those at bay
[04:57.340]Save a mist on the rise
[04:59.360]A final blessing to hide
[05:03.080]Her ghost in the fog
[05:06.490]
[05:06.680]And I embraced
[05:07.970]Where lovers rot...
[05:10.550]Her ghost in the fog
[05:15.060]
[05:25.480]Her ghost in the fog
