Farewell reign of anguish
The flowers beneath your feet lay trampled and blown
The times that I laid beside you
Are gone like a thousand years in a guillotine’s stroke
Stare out in silence
…is all I can dare
The revolution dances
Around this heart I bare
Dark nights and haunted dreams
Lay slain around your throne with their banners torn
Wounded and hardly breathing
The diamonds and emeralds kept will be locked and spared
Stare out in silence
…is all I can dare
The revolution dances
Around this heart I bare

Siege
Your eyes are like armies
That sack cities in hearts they lay siege to
A pair that Menelaus wouldn't even dare to stare
Even the finest cataphracts could never charge into
The tender spears that march in your vanguard's dare
Woe to this poor conscript...a flimsy armor he unwillingly dons
Upon which your arrows and maces... merciless and enchanting
Pierce his flesh and breaks his bones
To bring him down to die a lowly infantryman's death
Bloodied and mangled in this battlefield of regret
That sack cities in hearts they lay siege to
A pair that Menelaus wouldn't even dare to stare
Even the finest cataphracts could never charge into
The tender spears that march in your vanguard's dare
Woe to this poor conscript...a flimsy armor he unwillingly dons
Upon which your arrows and maces... merciless and enchanting
Pierce his flesh and breaks his bones
To bring him down to die a lowly infantryman's death
Bloodied and mangled in this battlefield of regret
