Lepers And Roses

The halo morning has dissolved 
The day is gone 
And nothing's solved 
For you

The sand castles are merely sand 
The sea has crawled back 
From your hand 
Too soon

In fields where Susan sings 
The leopard brings 
Yesterday 
In upon a string

And all your dead rainbows 
Begin to stain 
The lace on your raincoat

So leave the blind 
Roses behind 
You

Orpheus takes you by the hand 
Leads you into another land 
Land without shade 
Where trees are made

For you, Teresius 
Will try to find 
A monument 
To the death of eyes

So leave the blind 
Roses behind 
You

If you knew tomorrow was 
Just yesterday 
Hiding behind a mask 
What would you ask? 
What could you ask?

Alpha and Omega laugh 
Behind a glass 
Sell bootstraps from a bag 
Nowhere to hide 
The rest is a lie

So leave the blind 
Roses behind 
You
