Corpus Delicti – Saraband Lyrics

She sleeps in the rivers bed, drunk of her sadness
her head is the dwelling of deepest torment, of deepest lament.

Caressing the water like ice, she shakes her head until
her spirit finds the reason of her fright.

The words you meant to tell, will never be
You're dreaming of violence, the secret ocean has the key
The evil hand hangs on your ship.

"We're so different, when I'm cold and silent
You're setting a fire to dry your heart"
They're jumping and dancing and loving and kissing, on and on
They're dying and bleeding and hating and sighing, on and on
"I take back my trust in you, I take back my trust in you"

She swims in the rivers bed, posessed by her feelings
the moon fades in the gloomy expense, that dreft her naked skin.

Caressing the water like marsh, she journs her hands until
her body finds the reason of her thrill.

The words you meant to tell, will never be
You're diving in silence, like a mermaid in the dreary sea
The evil hand inside of him.

"We're so different, when I'm cold and silent
You're setting a fire to dry your heart"
They're jumping and dancing and loving and kissing, on and on
They're dying and bleeding and hating and sighing, on and on
"I take back my trust in you, I take back my trust in you"

She died in the rivers bed, drowned by her sorrow
The waves carried her body in shreds, her soul will follow.

And the words he meant to tell, will never be
He's diving with sadness, in unknown, dark and spellbound seas.
The fading moon will shine on him.
