Melancholy and Witchcraft
Tell me, are you afraid of my hands?
For they cut the deepest flesh
Tell me, are you afraid of my words?
For they praised the death of light
I have sworn to myself I'd never shed the blood of the others
For it is not their blood that drowns my heart
So tell me, are you afraid of heart?
For now I will tear it apart
They told me, the water in the well was poisoned today
They had seen me chanting in the forbidden tongue
Now, I see the torches rise
The line of flames, the pyres burn
No, I need no guiding light
Just my lead wings to fly
And I will rise higher than any of you
They told me I've brought misery upon their lands
With these wings of mine, from up high
I stare at the ruins your hearts desire
If they ever saw this feverish dream of mine
They would crawl in filth like serpents
Before the whitest of swans
This dream of mine
This dream of life
A nightmare with all the colors drained away
Now, I see the torches rise
The line of flames, the pyres burn
No, I need no guiding light
Just my lead wings to fly
And I will rise
Higher
Soar high above the dream of life
For they cut the deepest flesh
Tell me, are you afraid of my words?
For they praised the death of light
I have sworn to myself I'd never shed the blood of the others
For it is not their blood that drowns my heart
So tell me, are you afraid of heart?
For now I will tear it apart
They told me, the water in the well was poisoned today
They had seen me chanting in the forbidden tongue
Now, I see the torches rise
The line of flames, the pyres burn
No, I need no guiding light
Just my lead wings to fly
And I will rise higher than any of you
They told me I've brought misery upon their lands
With these wings of mine, from up high
I stare at the ruins your hearts desire
If they ever saw this feverish dream of mine
They would crawl in filth like serpents
Before the whitest of swans
This dream of mine
This dream of life
A nightmare with all the colors drained away
Now, I see the torches rise
The line of flames, the pyres burn
No, I need no guiding light
Just my lead wings to fly
And I will rise
Higher
Soar high above the dream of life
