Pietà of the Midnights

A prisoner of surviving 
I wasted my life 
Wintering on the seasides 
We were never going home 
It was golden Genesis in a dome 
Blooming like a blood wound 
Pietà I was drinking moon juice 
I was just trying to survive too 
The lantern of the ages
Had me hanging 
We were never going home 
I was the changeling child
Like the Pietà I made suffering my pride 
Darkness in the lantern of ages  
Blooming as a blood wound 
Pietá of the midnight coasts
Opium eater on the god-shore 
I made suffering my door 
Changeling child dreaming away time 
Who will rival me 
In annihilating beauty 
The moon kept her eye on me
Like I was jewel of the deep 
Dreaming of moonshine 
Days steeped into nights
We survived the sieges 
Through flood through fire 
It was desire that had me
Hanging me like a lantern at the seaside 
I wouldn't cry 
I wouldn't cry 
The days steeped into nights 
Blizzards of Time I wintered by the seasides
We met when the wandering water moon was in flight
And it killed me it killed me trying to survive 
I was a ghost a dream fearing dissolution
And we were going home soon 
To dream away the time 
It was survival that lit up
Like desire to me 
Our destiny was dying and it was rising
It was fear that lit up
Like survival to me
There was a celebration in the throne room 
But Nobody was home 
Like a Pietá of the midnights
In the ashes of the Earth
We prayed it was metamorphosis 
Because it was killing us
It was killing us 
The divinity of desire 
There were decapitated violets in Paradise
It was hard to remember why we did it 
Grandeur of the god-shore 
But I was bored of beholding it 
While there was a celebration in the throne room
The sorrows we thought they were Proverbs
Cassandra with prophecy as a nightshade 
I invoked diviner things 
Rose of oblivion
There was a celebration in the throne room 
I didn't intend to go
Prophecy was a night shade
And I remember 
How they had Cassandra slayed
