I
Salty water, salty water, come back you salty water
The Joy-lyras in your dreams
Red waves in the desert streams
Salty sapphires, salty sapphires, come back you salty sapphires
The secrets of longevity dim
The million folds of my skin
In the places of my hearts chambers
In the places of my hearts chambers
II
Black Mary, Black Mary, my sweet Black Mary
I caress your wings
Air in my hair I hear the sparrows
Jesus, Jesus, my sweet Jesus
Show me your forgiven soul
Air in my hair I run without a head to the arrows
Through the deepest rifts of glaciers
Through the deepest rifts of glaciers
III
Salty moonlight, salty moonlight, come back you salty moonlight
Clouds, cities, ceilings, windows, dust, molecules, lovers, heads, parents, cats… I swollow
Just follow me, follow
IV
Edelweiss, Edelweiss, my sweet Edelweiss
Let blood rain over my irises
With fresh poisonous viruses
V
This is the rythm of the night
This is the rythm of the night
VI
To the despair
I paint my cry
until the colors die
