Let me fall now, no
Let me fade away instead
I am tired of being ever alone
Of being always afraid
I was a fool to grapple with the dark, you know,
A fool to light my heart on fire
A fool to eat the wounded ashes
To taste the honey of that sweet desire
I was blind with my eyes open
Blind to the water rising around my waist
Blind to see that I with my words
Was no different than the rest
So here I am now, here,
A face amongst other faces:
All fools condemned henceforth
To die; by hanging on her tresses
I should have known it, I should have
For it was no secret after all
That there was magic in her voice
And that it was a siren’s call
It was this damned dream, you see,
To be together in the end
So surreal that I forgot
It was all make-believe, a pretend
I am going now, I am gone
There are other lovers in the line
They ask me if she is a goddess
And I answer: Yes, if the Devil’s Divine…
