Lyrics
I ain't so pure of heart myself that I can go and say how you should be
But I know the temptation
The meaning you will give your life is up to you no safety guaranteed
But it will be amazing
Spectres of suspicion hone in on your love
Hungry inquisition always wanting more
Here I am, look at me now, you're living in a world of wonder
Come to me now, we will make it somehow
Here I am, singing your song, believing, though the world's asunder
This is our time and our love is crystalline
Place your hand against the wall and follow every contour till you're free
Yourself forgiven
So what are you a slave to now when every winding maze will disappear
What makes your prison
Spectres of suspicion hone in on your love
Hungry inquisition always wanting more
Here I am...
When it seems like there ain't no way out
And you feel like going underground
What's the choice where everybody wins
Past the point of no return
This labyrinth will up and burn
As bright as the puppet master grins
You will stand a vision of your world of wonder
And play your hand, magician, like there's no tomorrow
Here I am...
Trivia
- The line "And play your hand, magician, like there's no tomorrow" seems to foreshadow cards two and three of the three-card Tarot spread from the Requiem for My Harlequin MV.
