The Moor |
| The sigh of summer upon my return |
| Fifteen alike since I was here |
| Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail |
| Snuffing the first morning rays |
| Weary from what might have been ages |
| Still calm with my mind at peace |
| Would I prosper or fall, drain the past |
| The lapse of the moment took it’s turn |
| I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith |
| Wearing my death mask at birth |
| The hands of God decrepit and thin |
| Cold caress and then nothing |
| I was taken away from my plight |
| A treason bestowed to the crowd |
| Branded a Jonah with fevered blood |
| Ungodly freak, defiler |
| Pale touch, writhing in the embers |
| Damp mud burning in my eyes |
| All the faces turned away |
| And all would sneer at my demise |
| Outcast with dogmas forged below |
| Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born |
| No mercy would help me on my way |
| In the pouring rain, nothing is the same |
| Vows in ashes |
| I pledge myself to no one |
| Seethed and spiteful |
| All shudder at the call of my name |
| If you’ll bear with me |
| You’ll fear all of me |
| There is no forgiveness in these eyes |
| For any of you but one |
| Dispel the mist for now |
| Melinda is the reason why I’ve come |
| Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh |
| Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh |
| Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh |
| Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh |
| She is water drops over the pyre |
| A thistle in my hands |
| Stained and torn, aged and brown |
| Virtuous shell with kindred innocence |
| I awoke from the miasma |
| Passing swiftly through the moor |
| This is here, waters stir |
| And in the distance, all that was lost |
| If you’ll bear with me |
| You’ll fear all of me |
| You’d never leave me to |
| A fate with you |
