letra de the doors of breath - ezra blumenfeld

Loading...

she was the lady of my thoughts
my eager love with grace she bought
at night in secret we did meet
and soon our souls were knit eternally

now here she lies before me
pale death is all i see
her spirit has left this world
why would she do this thing to me?

so there i was found weeping in the streets
by one who cared for me
he sought to lift me from my grief
he brought misery, no relief

on to the feast
of my great enemy
taken by surprise
one there wounded me

perfection in her form
a sight to see
i had scarce dreamt
of such beauty
our eyes locked
our hearts intertwined
i felt a rush
as her lips pressed to mine

what have i done?
i’ve fallen in love
with one i was meant to hate
what a fool i have been
to do such a thing
it fits that i choose such a fate

what shall i do?
my love knows no bounds
when she speaks
my heart aches at the sound

we must meet
the secret must be kept
if we are found
in vain i have wept

from the balcony
i hear her sighs
the stars of the night
have joined with her eyes

she sees me and speaks
the whole world shakes
i must have her
whatever it takes
she says she agrees
and that she will send
together we vow
never to end

gone to the church
exchanging promises
we must be together
no matter the consequence
i am hers
and she is mine
together we gaze forward
into endless time

ah, my juliet

see how they dance together
my friends and my foes
enforcing the ancient quarrel
n0body knows
their swords are out and drawn
together they taunt
the friends with the enemy
who so often fought

they must be contained
we must have peace
the enemy’s cousin
was my lady at the feast
but here yet he stands
a furious beast
a wretched villain
drawn and glaring at me

i try to interfere
i jump in between
my dear friend’s life bears
the brunt of my deed
and with a loud cry
mortality snuffed
laid to rest
turned to dust

here comes the murderer
back at it again
the wretched monster
that slew my friend
in anger i draw
his lifeblood is shed
i flee from the scene
abandon him, dead

i’ll go to the priest
and hide in his cell
and hope to god
he can save me from h-ll
what have i done?
i’ve now spilled the blood
of the dear kinsman
of my true love

there i learn
of my pathetic fate
a royal punishment
to pay for my hate

my body is banished
yet my soul is dead
for ending the line
of my newly-wed

i go to her chamber
to bid her goodbye
and as i leave
i can hear her distant cries
will we meet again?
only time will tell
i’d rather be dead
than live through this h-ll

here comes a friend
a servant of my father
to tell of the death
of my enemy’s daughter

how can this be true?
no one hears my cries
my dearly-kept secret
has fled to the sky
i must go to join her
no matter the cost
to honor her p-ssing
my life must be lost

i have the stars to guide me
their light will lead my way
i wish that i could disappear
into the dying day
i’ve come to see my lady
she’ll be my final sight
my soul is sad and helpless
on this, so bleak a night

i have no life without her
no reason to go on
my spirit will go to join her
upon the break of dawn
i’ve come to see my lady
she’ll be my final sight
my soul is sad and desperate
on this, so grim a night

if i could turn the tables back
i would have bade her go
perhaps she would now be with me
if so, i’ll never know

the cemetery is empty
i can feel i’m drawing near
the tomb of her ancestors
her resting place is here
i’ve come to see my lady
to bid the world goodbye
to slip into the emptiness
to ease the pain
to die

confronted at the tomb
my heart is filled with sorrow
why should he interfere?
he will never see tomorrow
my knife twists in his gut
as he gasps his final breath
another life is done
i must cause just one more death

here she lies in beauty
a view to behold
that without seeing
it cannot be told
her blood has gone still
her hands cannot feel
as i hold them to my face
and soak them with tears

why should i go on?
here lies my wife
and in her p-ssing
so concludes my life
i lift the bottle
to my parched lips
the venom fills me
through my body it rips

with but one last kiss
the doors are locked
forever
my life is done

i gaze in horror
as my soul watches from above
the events that unfold
upon the waking of my love
she sees my body
pulls my dagger from its sheath
holds it to her chest
and pushes it beneath

my soul is done searching
no longer i cry
my lady and i have met
finally
in the sky
