With parted lips, you pray averse
at the altar of the universe
With marble skin and raven hair
Suddenly, the goddess is standing there
And wild things sing and woods unknown
She sees into your soul
Touches your trembling fear
and reflects your joy like a mirror
You climb the hill, cathedral spire
You move like wood, she like fire
Flames rising high
Is it birth? A funeral [?] ?

When she lifts her lips like a chalice
A body, a living palace
Drink deeply from the grave

Flesh on tongue, living communion
Bow and arrow, the rеlease of union
To the firе, you fell, and you burn, burn

Trembling, you ask why
With red lips, she prophesies
If you long to be open
then your heart is destined to be broken
Like smoke you float, a spectral trance
The axis tilts, it's a cosmic dance
What to do with shattered pieces?
To turn the pain to golden fleeces
Breath like smoke, you breathe her in
Where she goes, you're following
She frees you of your earthly form
Let yourself be transformed

When she lifts her lips like a chalice
Her body, a living palace
You drink deeply from the grave

Flesh on tongue, living communion
Bow and arrow
The ache of union to the fire fell and you burn, burn

She leaves you on the cliff of your inner precipice
Wondering who you'll be now
That the world is broken, open somehow
A child, newly born
Everything beauty, everything torped on your face
A maddening grin, knowing for well you'll be burnt again

When she lifts her lips like a chalice
Her body a living palace
Drink deeply from the grave

Flesh on tongue, living communion
Bow and arrow
The ache of union to the fire fell and you burn, burn
The release of union to the fire you fell
And you burn, you burn, burn

We all change by love
We're all hurt by love
We're transformed by love
We're all made bigger
We're all carved deeper
We're all changed by love
We're all changed by love
