Music by Alon
Lyrics by Cohen
Recorded at Keoss Studios

Lust enclosed the sinews of the land
Where silk engrossed his cobwebbed lips
And seraphs chanted melodies of dusk.

The eve was chilled, as if 'twas full of twilight
And I was banned from grace and from morrows.

The dimmed reflection of the wind
Whispered and wailed -
Shivered through the woods and slowly ceased.
Stones graved him with cravings
Acheron leapt in woe and silence
I mourned him a fortnight by the mists.

And as we clad ourselves in midnight's obscures
The velvet moon will guide us to the shrieking skies
Elysium so far, I cannot be denied
Of prophecies, and opium, and many of the kind

The dimmed reflection in their eyes
Three burdens of shame
When blood once fertilized the earth
What have I become? I am no longer master
To feast upon my furies -
Sisters of wrath.

And upon my bowed head rise their wings, my sins
My voice is mute - I cannot cry for mercy.
