about

Not hiding behind false faces, the temptress lures the poet into her cave of darkness and devotion.

lyrics

LE MASQUE


I AM NOT WEARING
A MASK TO BE SHOWN
MY TRUE SELF IS GLARING
AND ALL’S OVERFLOWN

IN MOONLIGHT YOU’RE BATHING
SO PURE AND SO TRUE
I CAN SEE YOU JUST WAVING
I AM COMING FOR YOU

IN VEINS BLOOD IS RUSHING
HEAT RISING SO YOU
THINK THAT IT’S GUSHING
IN FLOODS OVER YOU

BUT YOU ARE NOT DYING
EN CONTRAIRE, CROI-MOI,
NO NEED FOR CRYING

SHHHHH, TU EST POUR MOI


I AM NOT STOPPING
UNTIL YOU ARE MINE
IF TEARS ARE THEN DROPPING
YOU KNOW THAT IT’S TIME

ENTERING WITH ME
THE CAVES OF UNKNOWN
PLEASURES AND FLASHES
LONG TO BE SHOWN

WHISPERS IN EARS
THAT RING WITH THE SOUND
OF ALL THE WORLD’S LONG YEARS
HERE CAN BE FOUND

SECLUDED IN MOUNTAINS
AND PATHS SO WORN OUT
NO; YOU WON’T HAVE
THE CHANCE OF A DOUBT

THAT THIS IS THE PLACE
YOU’RE LONGING TO BE
RESTLESS, IN MOTION,
JUST YOU AND ME.

ALL THE MORE KNOWING
THE CAVE’S INSIDES GET
OUR FACES ARE GLOWING
WITH JOY, RUSH AND SWEAT

THE OPENING SWALLOWS
OUR BODIES INSIDE
ONE PATH THAT FOLLOWS
THROUGH DARKEST NIGHT

WHEN BREATHS BECOME QUICKER
IT’S JUST UP TO YOU
DRINK FROM THE LIQUOR
SWEET WALLS OFFER YOU

FOLLOW THE PATH
TO FIND WHERE IT LEADS
DON’T LET IT PASS
ANSWER YOUR NEEDS.
