Eros

From shattered dreams and wondrous spells A light quivers in a faint glow With a dying heart in briny tears Caught in the profound undertow What once shined bright, so radiant A purpose dragged into the mud I see scorched paintings of burning citadels Causing death amongst angels Dreams foregone Turning into stone I believed in fantasies achieved Oh Eros Leave me lost before the animus Today I saw a sparrow A beam of light in the shade If I had wings I'd cut them off And build a cross for my grave I'd prowl the masses screeching Hoisting a banner of shame And cut this fallacy of life Thrown in chaotic waves Dreams foregone Turning into stone I believed in fantasies achieved Oh Eros Leave me lost before the animus Paint the world in flames Set your soul ablaze And finally unleash this rage I received this tormenting deceit Oh Eros Leave me dead before the animus (Eros) (Eros) (Eros) (Eros) Eros Celestial body blazing through the sky Eros A memory of aeons left behind Eros A shattered mirror in front of my eyes Eros A failed attempt to let the past die Eros Ashy silk cascading down your dress Eros Deceiving eyes that couldn't care less Eros A finger pressed against your lips Eros Words create the apocalypse Eros The black coach of sorrow has taken me away Eros Into the starless night's archway Eros A dead and buried memory Eros How could you abandon me
