Lest you ignite your own silken shroud,
Lest you ignite your own silken shroud,
And cast dust upon the tears I’ve vowed.
If reconciliation is the only path,
If reconciliation is the only path,
Then, turn from all, and embrace my wrath.
Then, turn from all, and embrace my wrath.
Then, turn from all, and embrace my wrath.
My eyes have wept a river’s flow,
My eyes have wept a river’s flow,
For my sake, let kohl's dark beauty grow.
For my sake, let kohl's dark beauty grow.
For my sake, let kohl's dark beauty grow.
Alone, I am a captive of fear’s hold,
Alone, I am a captive of fear’s hold,
Whispered to my dreams of old,
Whispered to my dreams of old,
Whispered to my dreams of old.
Despair has settled, heavy on my breast,
Despair has settled, heavy on my breast,
Come, and surprise me, put me to the test.
Come, and surprise me, put me to the test.
Come, and surprise me, put me to the test.
Lest you ignite your own silken shroud,
Lest you ignite your own silken shroud,
And cast dust upon the tears I’ve vowed.
Lest you ignite your own silken shroud.
