lyrics

The fountain of life ran out long ago.
Hidden away.
The walls still smart from a whiplash lash,
And hammer blows.

Carmine temples, shadowed and under
superstition
Sheltered in minaret, sheltered in white walls,
Out of the sun.

Several grenadiers, with stones to throw,
Kneel for prayer.
Judgements and parchments bow to obedience,
To a train of thought.

Carmine temples, shadowed and under
superstition
Sheltered in minaret, sheltered in white walls,
Out of the sun.

Several citizens with books to burn
Kneel for prayer.
Judgements and parchments bow to obedience,
Out of the sun.

Carmine temples, shadowed and under
superstition
Sheltered in minaret, sheltered in white walls,
Out of the sun.
