Tell me, are you afraid of my hands? For they cut the deepest flesh Tell me, are you afraid of my words? For they praised the death of light I have sworn to myself I'd never shed the blood of the others For it is not their blood that drowns my heart So tell me, are you afraid of heart? For now I will tear it apart They told me, the water in the well was poisoned today They had seen me chanting in the forbidden tongue Now, I see the torches rise The line of flames, the pyres burn No, I need no guiding light Just my lead wings to fly And I will rise higher than any of you They told me I've brought misery upon their lands With these wings of mine, from up high I stare at the ruins your hearts desire If they ever saw this feverish dream of mine They would crawl in filth like serpents Before the whitest of swans This dream of mine This dream of life A nightmare with all the colors drained away Now, I see the torches rise The line of flames, the pyres burn No, I need no guiding light Just my lead wings to fly And I will rise Higher Soar high above the dream of life
