The morning brings me roses and fears
I have more dreams than a thousand years
I have more dreams than a thousand years
The morning brings me roses, roses and fears
CH: And the moon’s a lidded Cyclops eye
And the sun’s harsh glare commands the sky,
“The sky like an altar, sad and magnificent”
And all things burn. And all things burn.
Secret vices find a shelter in your heart
You hold me together and you tear me apart.
You hold me together and you tear me apart.
Secret vices find a shelter, a shelter in your heart.
(The sacred naked burden, and all things burn)
You, my star, shine in my direction.
Exalt alike my faults and perfections.
Exalt alike my faults and perfections.
You, my star, shine in my, in my direction.
