lyrics

THE KNOT OF THE HEART
Nineveh & Babylon, Knossos & Thebes / I even bled for you among the Byzantines / Life after life, dream after dream – How is it these eyes still can’t see? / Take wing, banish tears / Light the torch, confound the seers / This gate opens only once every hundred years / Unbind the Knot of the Heart, Unwind the Knot of the Heart… / I was left blind by the caravans / Still I sang your song, I did your dance / And I awoke to these alien tattoos on my hands / Jade earrings, bangled beads / Your bronze bracelets all agleam / Like silver stars on a mirrored sea – Lay down with me / These bodies arise, walk through dreams / So many claim that they know what it means! / I came here for Love, to bear those beams– Bow down with me …
