Raf - Il Re lyrics

Footsteps tear the cobwebs of a night

Heartbeats fade in skin-distorted black light

Read closed eyes and sew your lies to evermore

If is Why and whispers cry your wounded core, a verbal whore

Your truth is burning in your eyes, your nouns distract my name

Verbs creep craving, adjectives crack echoes of your blame

Creeds of passion form your ache in crooked rhyme

Scorching breath pales pictures fading into skies

Stars your mirrors, black as silver, borrowed life

Phrase-poised rivers, floating shivers, sharpened knives

Our eloquence dried-up

The vivid sentences cut

Disguise the inner rot

Discuss the final

keep it inside, reap it inside, rip off the mortal pain

(Read it from my face) your changes faint to same

(Seal it in your gaze) you die of what you´ve gained

(Stunningly amazed) my coldness drowns your aim

(Defeated and erased) your shot words lose the game

Deserts sigh in mourning as they swell

Rocks forbid the last infectious yell

Crusted bloodstreams underneath the silent sand

Thurst forgetting, hunger runs right through your hands
