Lyrics
The Knife Thrower
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.
When you find the one you want
You summon them in, you blush, you flaunt
Such consummate lips betray your thoughts
To so gaily inspire a lark
You say this is a game so take your place
Then you set the mask upon your face
My silhouette in the air you trace
And the dagger performs with a start
This is the way we represent
Desire displays impermanence
Discover you now the inference
Of the lesson i wish to impart
And when the nimbus groans with thunder
Think of the clothes all cast assunder
Fragrant, the rose is filled with wonder
All that is left of my heart
This is the way we represent
Desire displays impermanence
Discover you now the inference
Of the lesson i wish to impart
And when the nimbus groans with thunder
Think of the clothes all cast assunder
Fragrant, the rose is filled with wonder
All that is left of my heart
