About the Wicked Isaacs :: Songs and Lyrics :: Sparkling Cyanide
Lyrics by Skye Schezar (c) 2003
After white nights and laughter
It seems the only way –
You walk the halls of your deserted palace
Surely you knew there would be a price to pay
For your careful discretion,
Your studied twisting of the rule
Within the sight of your lover,
Your student, your willing captive, your fool…
Shining darkness in the cup you have given me
Drink your fill of the light that pours out of me
There was a great war long ago
Between heaven and hell –
So once you told me, and that you triumphed
For you saw both sides and played each so well.
It was your merciless nature
That made it so simple to win
When you scent blood you never separate
The sinner from the sin…
Shining darkness in the cup you have given me
Drink your fill of the light that pours out of me
And so you lay your ice cold hands
Upon my unfeeling heart
All patience as I beg for release in your arms
Smiling as I dare to ask to die by your art.
For when you found that I could break
I ceased to be your beautiful doll.
Even as I fail the trial of your conquest
It is my name that heralds your fall…
Shining darkness in the cup you have given me
Drink your fill of the light that pours out of me
Shining darkness in the cup you have
(wed to me, bled from me, had from me)
given me...
Drink your fill of the light that
(forsakes all others and)
pours out of me...
forsake all others, pour out of me
pour out of me.
