Gothic Muse (Rock Version)

Lie quiet, my shadow-vested muse

Hear not my rustling lullabies

It\'s all because we did refuse

To take their course and dwell in lies

  

If it could warm you and protect,

I\'d shiver naked in thousand rains

To make you live I would inject

The red of roses in your veins

  

Ill time it was I saw you wake

I pray the gods to make you sleep

I hope you have no heart to break

Your wounds are only marble-deep

  

It\'s all that we defied their laws

And lions wait and watchers rise

I\'m just a meat for fangs and claws

You\'ll be the prey for hungry eyes

  

We think we\'re heroes lest we end

As slaves for sale at dirty mart

I pledge my love on blood-soaked sand

And hope that life won\'t do us part.
