the fair ones sing distorted lullabies

the notes of dim passages and worlds behind the mirrors

[ we lure you into the moonless traps, we blind you on the light ]

slowly building the cage made of black roots

burying the tendrils of love and hate under your skin

their smiles guiding you when you fall

the fair ones’ dance filled with grace and dust

reminiscence of abandoned palaces

and hidden rooms made of ivory and bleeding phalanges

they drag you into perpetual gloom

placing a crimson kiss on your tear-stained cheek

[ why to drift towards the light, when the darkness adores you? ]

the fair ones take you into a silent embrace

touching your heart with raven wings

leaving trails of coal and cinders

your time stolen, drowned in a twisted fairytale

[ you will bloom for us like a night flower

growing moss in your veins

resin replacing blood; spring rain washing down your memories ]
