Of Your Beauty lyrics

Wearing robes of solemnity

My senses stand erect

This moment I am solitary

As you watch me, eyeless

Observe a brutal face

I need silence, I need to be alone

Look at me

My bony fingers wrapped in rags

I am pursued and love is withered

My eyes will see, if my spirit lives

The wind shouts its commands

The earth has stopped my ears

I dare not raise my hand

To hold the stones around my throat

I have heard of your beauty

And would sacrifice my days

These midnight wanderings

And vain laments

Pour upon me

A sympathetic glance

My splendour has gone

you will find me face down

let those days pass

in sorrowful procession

Among leafless groves

May a leaf unfold

I cry with rage

To be remembered with pity

Let the leaves unfold

Where dead leaves have rotted

Ask me what I suffer

Years of fruitless clinging

to enfeebled arms

That wave of benevolent salute

I have heard of your beauty

Pursue me, beckon me

to cast the stones from my throat

in the earth`s dark entrails

My glazed eyes close forever

My my eyes will see

If my spirit lives
