Paroles de Circe

There is an island you've never seen There lives a woman as old as the trees And I clawed my way through the waves Just to have a look at her ancient face I said Bleed me dry take the fear from my veins Infuse them with poison arm me with pain Let every touch turn man to swine So not even the gods can take what is mine I begged Choke my lungs make me feel like I'll drown So the air I breathe I can breathe without No cut and no kill can still my lips I will never be carried over the Styx By her feet I knelt in the sand Till she lifted me up with the touch of her hand And though her eyes have seen centuries I saw my own face staring back at me I said Bleed me dry take the fear from my veins Infuse them with poison arm me with pain Let every touch turn man to swine So not even the gods can take what is mine I begged Choke my lungs make me feel like I'll drown So the air I breathe I can breathe without No cut and no kill can still my lips I will never be carried over the Styx Call me hateful but don't twist my words I'm hateful because I fear the world This story of mine is not black nor white It just depends on if you're telling it right And I can't sit out the storm Pretend I'm not here at all I would rather drown in these waves Than drown in the pretense of being safe Bleed me dry take the fear from my veins Infuse them with poison arm me with pain Let every touch turn man to swine So not even the gods can take what is mine I begged Choke my lungs make me feel like I'll drown So the air I breathe I can breathe without No cut and no kill can still my lips I will never be carried over the Styx
