Moonlies - Asterion

Awake

As a poisoned present

A statue carved in jade

The stone that steals the hearts

From unfaithfuls

Dethrones your kings

Look at me

And feel the pain

Mixing with the taste of blood

How the arrows of time

Tear every second apart and

Invoke the dawn

Have you seen how the moon lies to us?

Listen the howls of despair

What will you do

Without the crown of pity?

You’ll have to fall and crawl again

It will guide you, the taste of sin

Through the path of solitude

To disappear when we love

And become a shadow

That will dissipate

A nightmare invoked

In a sun that has died…
