Lyrics
Ophelia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The motes on fire for you
They're looking for ophelia
They started wars in her name
And forgot poor ophelia
She cried so hard for him
Up in that giant tower
And when the rains came
The sky was filled with blood
Where has they been
Ophelia what is going on
The serpent waits in the room
Ophelia's locked into her doom
She fell in his mouth
But no one heard her scream
