Lepers And Roses

The halo morning has dissolved

The day is gone

And nothing's solved

For you

The sand castles are merely sand

The sea has crawled back

From your hand

Too soon

In fields where Susan sings

The leopard brings

Yesterday

In upon a string

And all your dead rainbows

Begin to stain

The lace on your raincoat

So leave the blind

Roses behind

You

Orpheus takes you by the hand

Leads you into another land

Land without shade

Where trees are made

For you, Teresius

Will try to find

A monument

To the death of eyes

So leave the blind

Roses behind

You

If you knew tomorrow was

Just yesterday

Hiding behind a mask

What would you ask?

What could you ask?

Alpha and Omega laugh

Behind a glass

Sell bootstraps from a bag

Nowhere to hide

The rest is a lie

So leave the blind

Roses behind

You
