EN
Fleeter even than Mercury He flies inside the walls he calls his own. He came hidin' but now I see He looks like everyone I've ever known He comes bearin' a sacrifice, I know him by the rose that's in his hand. I've been listenin' to his advice, I heat the words but I can't understand. His moon mirage is shinin' Shiftin' the things that he can't endure But all through the Darkness his pain is pure. Fleeter even than Mercury He flies inside the walls he calls his own. He came hidin' but now I see He looks like everyone I've ever known He comes beatin' a sacrifice, I know him by the rose that's in his hand. I've been listenin' to his advice, I hear the words but I can't understand. His moon mirage is shinin' Through his veins flows a fool's gold flood But through the rose in his hand. . . flows blood.
