Iocasta Lyrics

Plead me

To no deeper delve

Let be

The Eden where we dwell

Because truth sleeps

Like a serpent underneath

I blind myself to see

And our joy

Is poisoning this land

Can't fight fate

With a fated hand

When all we are

Is all in all we are

And could ever be

A fool's pride

Learns wisdom in defeat

A sphinx smiles her smile

Knowing and discreet

Seeing the day

I curse my victory

The impermanence of things

And God watches on

Laughing entertained

And gives you stars

In heaven for your shame

For all time

Hanging in the sky

Divine comedienne

Slings and arrows

Doors you can't close

Times you came close

Hanged on your hope

Where I remember

Burns the ember inside

Lights my blinded way.
