The New Moon Braids

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

You hid strange creature in the corners of my mind

Half-naked running through the meadow of my waking dreams

Your siren voice came calling through the tall grass

And I followed every whisper like a river finds the sea

Pre-Chorus

Eros chased his Psyche through the fading light

But he never gave us that same grace

Chorus

Strange creature

I saw you in the kingdom of the sleeping

Strange creature

You looked at me like I was painted on the wall

And I reached my fingers toward your radiance

Listening to the angelic colors of your voice

Verse 2

Hyacinthus held Apollo for a single tender season

Pygmalion carved his lover till her marble turned to breath

But even Thanatos cannot join us now

When the new moon braids the silver in our hair

Pre-Chorus

It is and it was and it always will be

This history this destiny this us

Chorus

Strange creature

I saw you in the kingdom of the sleeping

Strange creature

You looked at me like I was painted on the wall

And I reached my fingers toward your radiance

Listening to the angelic colors of your voice

Bridge

Mm

I led blind

Through the glow

Of your being

Mm

Chorus

Strange creature

I saw you in the kingdom of the sleeping

Strange creature

You looked at me like I was painted on the wall

And I reached my fingers toward your radiance

Listening to the angelic colors of your voice

Outro

It is

It was

And it will be

Mm
