Closterkeller - The Pearl Lyrics
I know secrets of marble;The kisses I've known of mercury wereA diamond-hard pearl, though impervious,Bears memories etchedThe gilded wires hide darknessYet there the sun-flame a lyric singsThough I feel like an objectThough I'm blinded, something still thinks...Eyes suddenly unveiled,Gone the innocence, with the fragrant laceI shroud myself in my wings and I turn into a white pearlThe sun is beckoning to me,A warm sea's lying at my feetThen all at once a prod,Within a part that was unknown to meI cannot turn these thoughts off,Like a screen when the eyes smartEnd of the world, not yet of my pathI still have to dart downShedding off my fear and my painI seeNow I can see through the wavesAnd then a sudden enlighteningThere was more than the eye metBut as I'm slowly sinkingI can feel no regret...
