Closterkeller - The Pearl lyrics

rate me

I know secrets of marble;

The kisses I've known of mercury were

A diamond-hard pearl, though impervious,

Bears memories etched

The gilded wires hide darkness

Yet there the sun-flame a lyric sings

Though I feel like an object

Though I'm blinded, something still thinks...

Eyes suddenly unveiled,

Gone the innocence, with the fragrant lace

I shroud myself in my wings and I turn into a white pearl

The sun is beckoning to me,

A warm sea's lying at my feet

Then all at once a prod,

Within a part that was unknown to me

I cannot turn these thoughts off,

Like a screen when the eyes smart

End of the world, not yet of my path

I still have to dart down

Shedding off my fear and my pain

I see

Now I can see through the waves

And then a sudden enlightening

There was more than the eye met

But as I'm slowly sinking

I can feel no regret...
