Lyrics
The Poet And The Witch
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.
Pity the poet who suffers to give
Sailing the seas on his oceans of love
Strange how the sound waves break out of his reach
Love is a paradox who inherit the sky queen of the sky
Sonso sticking thunder from star staggered eyes
She gives away to be one with the skies
She breaks away on the night that she rides
Suffers her hunger to inherit the sky queen of the sky
Never to ---from faraway eyes
Beacons of life and their queen is the dawn
Deaf to his ocean and blind to his charm
She's deaf and she's blind but she's queen of the sky queen of the sky
Queen of the sea she sleeps on her own
The fishes have found her the ocean has grown
Slips through the waves and she sank like a stone
Queen of the nightmare will inherit the sky queen of the sky
