Wrap your troubles in dreams
|
Send them all away
|
Put them in a bottle
|
And across the seas they'll stay
|
|
Speak not of misfortune
|
Speak not of your woes
|
Just steal yourself for holy death
|
Crouching by the door
|
|
Writhe and sway to music's pain
|
Searing with asides
|
Caress death with a lover's touch
|
for it shall be your bride
|
|
Wrap your troubles in dreams
|
Send them all away
|
Put them in a bottle
|
And across the seas they'll stay
|
|
Purple is to yellow
|
As sunlight is to rain
|
Happiness and death you'll find
|
Loveliness in pain
|
|
Slash the golden whip it snaps
|
'Cross the lovers' sides
|
The earth trembles without remorse
|
Preparing for to die
|
|
Wrap your troubles in dreams
|
Send them all away
|
Put them in a bottle
|
And across the seas they'll stay
|
|
Salty ocean waves and sprays
|
Come crashing to the shore
|
Bullies kick and kill young loves
|
Down on barroom floors
|
|
The gleaming knife cuts early
|
Through the midnight air
|
Cutting entrails in its path
|
Blood runs without care
|
|
Violence echoes through the land
|
And the heart of every man
|
The knife stabs existent wounds
|
pus runs through matted hair
|
|
Excrements filters through the brain
|
Hatred bends the spine
|
Filth covers the body pores
|
To be cleansed by dying time
|
|
Wrap your troubles in dreams
|
send them all away
|
Put them in a bottle
|
and across the seas they'll stay
|
