Iris (and The Burning Aureole) Lyrics - Nightfall

Oh, how much I love your eyes 

I'm waving like moonbeams on a nightside 

Sea 

Whenever, wherever mine crosses yours so 

Amenable I do feel, until I myself I hide 

Behind the sand-dunes on the shore of the 

Absorbent sandcastles. 

Broken into shivers, memories still haunt me. 

The knight in golden armour turns into 

Millions of vacant sins ; inner sickles 

Trying to find a way out of the flesh, the 

Planted one with memorable experiences, 

Tassels in white faces... 

Iris is a sine qua non for us indeed, though, 

Absolute darkness reminds me of the age of 

Ignorance. But, now as I recall all those 

I've seen so far through this burning blood 

Red veil "oh, it makes me soften, 

I realize how terrific it'd be to sojourn two 

Thousand years with you ; your inept 

Dreams...my cerebral mansion". 

I'm a creature of terra firma ; as an urn I 

Hold and kiss the ashes of my dying race ; as 

I grow up, Iris grows too, but, how can I 

Speak to the dry ground about the wet saliva 

Of my eyes ? 

Wisdom's cavern stands far from oceans, 

That's for sure my dear. 

Here I feel the crucial crux of all our 

Dilemmas, all those things won't ever 

Touch our flesh, let them go, let them fade 

Behind, let them stare at the Iris' narcotic 

Sight while the flaming aureole will offer 

Us pleasure ; the pleasure an infant gets 

Long with its mother's white, fluid bribe.
