No Solace

Begin the tears, halt the years Stifle fears, sharpen psychic spears Laissez-faire for my lady fair Go to your nightmares, to your dreams Immortal scare, scorching screams You were my all; I let you fall And now the price lays on my head The only solace to abide in your bed Miraculous fury running wild Corpses to bury obstreporous child Leave it to me, dear Cleave unto me: don't fear You are gilded effrontery I can only be simply me And now...worlds apart I plea Will you not defer to me? I am unsettled in my mind We reached the apex, things unwind Hassle me--you are unkind But in your heart treasures are mined So unfair this afterglow Do you care; will I ever know? Or is our wellspring doomed to flow Line up heartbreak after ruin in a row A pleasure palace to behold A maid enshrouded in green and gold Would make a tale best not be told You will always be with me And our spirits travel free Beneath the martyr's reckoning tree I must defer to His Majesty Leave me be for I am done I cannot see nor my heart be won I am scorched by a pitiless sun I betray my wrath to everyone
