Folded in your embrace Your eyes are the brightest eyes That ever hit me with their rays I will do you no harm When I am as strong as you are, and fair of face, It will be me and you, it’s soothing but cruel Your light into my light will flow Your wine into my water When I am black as ink We will cleanse the stars Until they are as white as pearls A seven petalled-rose is looming up there For me and you, Soothing but cruel In the shadow of the earth I am all yours You take my beauty while I receive your soul Your body will return when I am blotted out As I feel you from afar I feel my power growing back For this battle of fire Your loving eyes are there for me You’re soothing, but cruel One only when the earth is fully between us For me, and you, it is soothing but cruel
