Cypress Tree Delirium
Earth, one more day in the darkness
One more night, one more delirium, one more dream...
Be still, heart, do not follow;
I've not sorted out all of my means.
Earth, one more night for my sorrow
One more shadow to pacify my demons...
Be good now, whisper lightly;
I've danced quietly with words I can't scream...
Earth, lay these bones that were once broken
One more piece to the body, it seems...
Be still, heart, you are fallen;
Shattered by vanity, sewn sadly with tears I can't see
Earth, rest this body from madness
Let the night-bird and the moonlight bleach me clean...
Be silent now, don't speak to me softly;
In the earth, now, beneath the Cypress I've been.
One more night, one more delirium, one more dream...
Be still, heart, do not follow;
I've not sorted out all of my means.
Earth, one more night for my sorrow
One more shadow to pacify my demons...
Be good now, whisper lightly;
I've danced quietly with words I can't scream...
Earth, lay these bones that were once broken
One more piece to the body, it seems...
Be still, heart, you are fallen;
Shattered by vanity, sewn sadly with tears I can't see
Earth, rest this body from madness
Let the night-bird and the moonlight bleach me clean...
Be silent now, don't speak to me softly;
In the earth, now, beneath the Cypress I've been.
