The Beautiful Wolves Lyrics - Antichrisis

As the time has come for me to leave this world 

How I longed to probe into the guarded mystery 

Had to realise the best kept secret was my life itself 

Beware, you sages, far too wise: The last joke's on you! 

I've seen the light in the dawning day 

I've seen love - in a burning haze 

Don't you tell me I squandered this precious life 

For much too long I listened to your insidious voice 

Deafened by fear, blinded by hate: You missed the point 

I might die but I die laughing straight into your face 

I've tasted blood on your lips 

Divine magenta - heavenly 

No wise books can replace a single word you've said 

No dreams were sweeter than those I dreamed in your arms 

No drug did take me higher than the scent of you 

No fire be as fervent as your desire 

Where ever you are, where ever you roam 

For you I sing the sweetest song 

Salve Regina 

Quae pervia caeli porta manes et stella maris 

Vita dulcedo et spes nostra, Salve 

Ave Regina Caelorum 

Ave Domina Daemonum 

Salve Radix ex qua mundo lux est orta, Decora 

You call my name 

You walk amongst the late 

The seventh veil left at rainbow's end 

We're passing time like ferries crossing a stream 

Into the underworld: Cerridwen's domain 

Come aside and cry for this is the spring of tears 

Weep for the child inside gone from you 

Died away: No place in the upper world 

But who will nourish our dreams 

When laughter expires? 

To some a nightmare, to some a dream 

The day will end for some, as the night begins for one 

"Come aside the fires of my tribe, find shelter here" 

The wise woman takes the bone and points at me: 

Who am I to be? 

Not a single word trips from my lips so I start to dance 

Whilst the dark crone holds my soul, I lay down my mask 

See my heart is in your hands 

See my wings are broken 

The fire starts to burn my flesh to the bone 

Trial by flames I stand all alone: My guide's disappeared 

Naked and blind the new born god is dressed in innocence 

"Shall I dare or stay unconscious? 

Who'll be telling me wrong from right?" 

As shadows fall like leaves in September wind 

We're trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our memories 

But when nightmares call, we don't persist at all 

Retrospective dreams collide 

stranded on that wasteland's shore 

As shadows fall 

And will my name be called? 

Up on the mountain bare 

In black cloth dressed and desperate fear 

As shadows fall 

Silence of remembrance fades 

I dreamed we once held hands but I awake 

As shadows fall 

In nomine Magnae Deae Nostrae 

Introibo ad altarem 

Dominae Inferae 

Quae regit terram 

I've tasted blood without tongue 

My skin shed at your feet 

"Am I to sacrifice?" I asked the all-knowing crone 

"Until you understand you'll die!" the crone replied 

This might be heaven, might be hell - no difference I see 

"Salvation can't be found in here..." I sadly sighed 

Where is the sun? Who'll light my day? 

Where are the stars? Who'll guide my way? 

I try to hide but inexorably 

a voice like thunder coming up 

And as the midnight sun 

drowns the world in velvet light 

I call your name through the ashes of time 

Of all transgressions I can't take no more 

Deliverance, your love, is all I implore 

As flowers burn I hear the wolves return... 

At this desolate place 

Lost in time and lost in space 

Remembrance of a golden age 

In these days of yore: A magic spell 

Was it your name I called? 

I'll try again... 

And like a dream 

Your loving face 

I touch your golden skin just for a while 

Entwined we fly through the blackest skies 

You smile, I take your hand - back home again! 

Osculetur me, osculo oris sui 

Quia meliora sunt ubera tua vino 

Fragrantia unguentus optimis 

Oleum effusum nomen tuum 

Ideo adolescentulae dilerexunt te 

Trahe me post te 

As flowers burn I hear the wolves return...
