Runes and Men

With your hair of flaming Roses

Your kiss - Medusa's touch

Turn me to a pillar of salt

To die now would be perfection

Then my lonliness closes in

So, I drink a German wine

And drift in dreams of other lives

And greater times

White sheets wrap my mind

In drunken thoughts of runes and men

Why does the devil leave for us

This legacy of lonliness

This cry for the moon

And a dagger's thrust

With your hair of flaming blooms

And your eyes of saintly dusk

Then my lonliness closes in

So, I drink a German wine

And drift in dreams of other lives

And greater times...
