THE WATER SPRITE

Text and music: Lilou & John

I’ve had my heart broken twice
I’ve had my soul split in two
Down by the black river bank
Down where the full moon was new

I met my love in the grass
I met my love in the rain
The leaves of willows hanged low
The leaves that knew my name

He walked his way cross the field
He walked his way cross the moon
The grass was black and free
The grass was dying soon

And his heart was still pounding and warm
When I tore it from his flesh
His eyes were still calling out
Please have forgiveness

I met my love in the grass
I met my love in the rain
And every whisper was true
And every word was my name

He left my hand lying cold
He left my hand and I knew
There was a field and a moon
But not a whisper was true

And his heart was still pounding and warm
When I tore it from his flesh
His eyes were still calling out
Please have forgiveness

Who could have the moon and grass
That grew high in the field
Who could know the moon walked cross the field

I’ve had my heart broken twice
I’ve had my soul split in two
Down by the black river bank
Down where the full moon was new

THE RED POPPY

Text and music: Lilou & John

Lover
I wished it was all just a dream
A nightmare that left me the second I felt you
Next to me holding me tight
Knowing that nothing could harm me

Lover
I wished it was all just a dream
That your hand caressed me and that I could feel you
Next to me holding me tight
Knowing that nothing could scare me

Lover
I wished it was all just a dream
But when your hand left me and I could not feel you
Next to me holding me tight

I knew that nothing could save me

Lover
I wished it was all just a dream
But no one caressed me and all I could feel through

The reaper holding me tight
Was that his hands were the only
Hands I would ever feel
Hands I would ever feel

SERPENT BOULEVARD

Text and music: Lilou & John

My hands bleed from the blood on the floor
Cut with glass shaped like diamonds
Splinters of glass sparkle like eyes
Staring back from oblivion

The ceiling hangs from white walls
Like a river running over the edge
A waterfall washed away
From a glacier in my skin

Lovely sting
And glowing shade
Swimming deep
Down to the serpent

I move my head like a beast
With eyes ripped open by my claws
Scars cling onto the wound like eggs
From currents washing me to sea

My ivory eyes look into a world
Colored on canvas by hand

Suns imploding on pastures of green

Hovering over my abyss

Lovely sting
And glowing shade

Swimming deep
Down to the serpent

The loudspeakers scream I’m not alone

Just like the fading northern lights
Sucked out in orbit and vanished like air

In the heat of a black hole

The vivid glass of sparkling wine
That weighs like a star in my hand
Drowning myself in the pills of the gods
I ascend into silence

Lovely sting
And glowing shade
Swimming deep

Down to the serpent

Lovely sting
And glowing shade
Swimming deep
Down to the serpent
