Desdemona - Love And Pride lyrics

The life I've got this time is mine No claws or feathers on my wings I've changed my skin one last time Love and pride were the springs Walking in the shadows I can feel the night It's got no more dangers for me 'Cause the danger was me This flesh has started burdening me A body to carry my spirit around My spirit does no longer sing 'Cause the song used to be me Will you let me, won't you let me Be the voice that speaks in you Put a drop of black, add a hint of white The picture's now complete Will you let me, won't you let me Be the voice that whispers in you Paint your heart black, stain your soul white I look in the mirror, what I see is myself An ark of flesh to acknowledge my name Nevermore torn between above and below After a fight between love and pride All the time my spirit is singing While I whisper in the darkness Light as air, eternal delight All is finally in me as one I'll face the challenge to live every day I will dream of myself everyday So that all of my dreams Can be made of flesh and blood Will you let me, won't you let me Be the voice that speaks in you Put a drop of black, add a hint of white The picture's now complete Will you let me, won't you let me Be the voice that whispers in you Paint your heart black, stain your soul white I look in the mirror, what I see is myself An ark of flesh to acknowledge my name Nevermore torn between above and below After a fight between love and pride The sun is my father The moon is my mother I will get inside their brown of darkness And find out the secret rhythm Crying like an animal Dancing 'till dawn And forgetting my mortal name The sun is my father The moon is my mother When I am their son again I will did you all farewell
