Melpomene Lyrics by Elend

The Umbersun

0

I looked into the eyes of the Basilisk

Beside the shores
Of silver streaming sadness to be
She came to me disguised as Melpomene
Like asphodels winding through the chasms of Heaven
We were passing along the waves of the ocean
And slowly reaching the gates of the Sun

The beams of the night preceding me...
The streams of light preluding you...

The walls were weeping blood
But feverish was our waiting, Love
You once cherished our embrace
That day the horizon was weeping nights
The instants of time were running low
And every shape set like bronze
Reminded me of your name

The shore landscaping your face...
The sea piercing through your eyes...
A sea died with the salt of our tears

As the scale of a pearl preventing her from being an eye for the Sun
I am but death and stain within you
As the foaming quiver of life soiling the surface of ennui
You are the dream in me

Surround me with colours I am longing to see
And shadow that light upon me

Sear me in a sea of snakes
