|
Where stone lions prowl |
|
Sunlight glints on razors |
|
Trees of water sprout |
|
And blood crowns thier brow |
|
Where stone lions prowl |
|
Drape the dome with velvet |
|
Throw chandeliers at the sky |
|
And blood crowns their brow |
|
Where stone lions prowl |
|
Through mist and fire |
|
Books of fables and hours |
|
And blood crowns thier brow |
|
Where stone lions prowl |
|
Juggle with orbs and sceptres |
|
Laced with ivory and of jade |
|
And blood crowns thier brow |
|
Where stone lions prowl |
|
White with fear and axe head |
|
Daggers draw a bloody text |
|
And blood crowns thier brow |
|
Where stone lions prowl |
|
Gods that shimmer and whisper |
|
Sigh over lake and sea |
|
And blood crowns thier brow |
|
Where stone lions prowl |
|
Build a crow gallows |
|
A black noose, to hang the sun |
|
And blood crowns thier brow |
|
Where stone lions prowl |
|
Build a crow gallows |
|
A black noose, to hang the sun |
|
And blood crowns thier brow |
