Time the great deadener
Returning hard kisses at last
A love etched in blood

A love has come to pass

O glued the letter to your mouth

As treason climbed all over your face
Like a kitten, yet not so playfully


Do not play with me
I glued the letter to your hand
To consecrate the moment


This too shall end in fire
This too shall end

She wore mourning like a graceless flower
Blind to each sign of fear


So insecure
So unaware of me


I glued the letter to your heart
Crimson flowered redemption


November washed away the smoke
November washed it all away
All the guilty and all the glory

All the stories overheard

Forever entwined, yet forever enthroned

Hope dies painless with me
