Sanctifica - Lavender Lyrics

Lavender

returns to my consciousness by stealth

the smell that lured me astray

the paleness of my body

embraces that warmth

that new warmth, from a distant sun



Behind those gates there's no one to tell

my invisible trail

the cleansing sleep is yet to come



It's staring right back at me

the oceans in my eyes lie still



Innocence

silenced



Deceived

cannot grasp what has been poured into me

as they watch me on that screen

as they lure my lips to taste that kiss

I see love in you my sweet

I see love through you



silenced



Lavender

filters through me as I recall

alienation, indifference



This fate that has been laid upon me

I pray for stamina, for guidance

I pray for you my sweet

am I one of the beloved

the wanted, the rejected

the cynics, the pure:



The beggars are the threats

we'll suffer our demands

not yet will the slaves of passion and hunger be set free



As the sun awakes to meet its successor

this work of art, this portrait

of what cannot be imagined

will fade away

Lavender



...returns to my consciousness by stealth
