Strategem

Angry hands upon the wheel turn slow

Without a star the water turns to stone

Here I stand by lovely strategem

When love is gone I'll invent again

Lady in Ashes, Forget her name

Her beauty was matchless, her nature untame

And by now her face is far below

Still beneath the desert rivers flow

Take the sand in empty hand and then

Blow away and bring her back again

And if you ask it, dear one plays again

Her beauty was matchless, her nature untame

Deathless hand in land where devils roam

who with a switchblade cut the head of hope

It's time to exchange the evil, blow by blow

Without a star the water turns to stone

If time is our master, then I'm lost again

her beauty was matchless, her nature untame
