• Lyrics: What is desire? A bliss in proof and proved abyss Is love a very curse. In blame, in shame, in mad pursuit That’s where the matter turns To pluck you back extreme and strange That’s how I want you now. Before, a dream, behind, a dream Between these dreams we drown(verses) My love, is as a fever longing A desire stronger growing Like a sick disease that eats me And maybe, given reason’s all but left me Frantic mad with mind unable I will write you in a sonnet Saying, love me, if you don’t believe me, hate me Irritate and castigate the signs of crimes that flicker in my eyes Then maybe you’ll escape me. This time, no triumphant prize awaits me, Gentle cheater proudly pushing coldest conscience right before my eyes In whose shadow love burns. Blackness, fouling fair with nature seeming, A nameless, formless, sweetless, gormless enemy of time That’s where desire takes me. But what is desire? A joy proposed, a dream remembered Before: the longing, behind: the longing, Will you be with me forever.
