Cardinal Red Lyrics by Thieves’ Kitchen

Shibboleth

0

Faded release
Tapers to vanity
Cardinal red
Blushing unsure
Of all that will be
Apologies die untold
You lied when you said
That you'd prefer

Intoxication
Of dreams that are gone
Living in levels
And loving alone

Take me away
Folded in harmony
And rescue me
From myself
Lucid stranger
Speak to me with your mind
Your tears, your touch
Your music
Whatever you'll find

To catch the spark
The hope in the dark
That subtle danger
Appeals to my pride

Deepening still
A tribute to lost embrace
An elegy for happier men
There's rosemary for
Remembrance of darker days
There's violets for
Ophelia again

I will remember
I can not forget
Holding my temper
I know you regret...

...Fading away
A voice like a lullaby
For sinners and thieves
And glorious good
Devious still
I tempt you beyond the veil
With cardinal red
And blossoms of blue

Intoxication
Of dreams that are gone
Living in levels
And loving alone
