Lyrics
Lily Mansions
All this love is black
Ripe for the moment waiting
For this lovely pain in my heart
Somewhere beyond your face
Is gathered there an ocean
of lovely lily mansions
Holding, hiding traces
On the waves below
Moon-lit faces undertow
Coming outside in
A montage reel , a mountain
Feeling for the way you grow
(chorus)
All my hate is gone
Turning towards the sun
Fervor takes its place
And burns what's been done
Speak in toungues my love
Tell me with your trust
That the silence left behind waits for us
On your face they place
A song beside you softly
Lovers find a way top lose their words
Searching for a home
Far from the star-lit station
Crashing on your shores in love's direction
(chorus)
(end vox--repaet chorus)
