Lyrics With Twilight As My Guide - Renée Fleming

With Twilight As My Guide

I’m bolted from within
From long conniving heights
The hail it makes a special sound
That always stays into the night
She tells me I’m not capable
Of what they accuse me With no remorse
I stand and say that
Guilty is what I plead
My devil makes me dream
Like no other mortal dreams
With a blank eye corner
The only way to see him
In the tunnel where he slept
By the longest tusk of corridors
Numb below the neck
In my heart
Where he keeps them
In a vault of devil daughters
When I bend in kicking form
With twilight as my guide
In every home
The ghost veins gossip
You can hear them if you try
When my quill begins to squirm
From the ashes in your urn
Your deviance is anything but faithful
My devil makes me dream
Like no other mortal dreams
With a blank eye corner
The only way to see him
In the tunnel where he slept
By the longest tusk of corridors
Numb below the neck
In my heart
Where he keeps them
In a vault of devil daughters
Everybody
Hangs like dead leaves
Don’t you hurt these
Branches waiting
I’ve been watching
You fall to me Don’t desert me
I’m not waiting
My devil makes me dream
Like no other mortal dreams
With a blank eye corner
The only way to see him
In the tunnel where he slept
By the longest tusk of corridors
Numb below the neck
In my heart
Where he keeps them
In a vault of devil daughters
