Lyrics Excess of Cruelty - Under the Ivy of Ithamar

Like being underneath, just before snow flakes all settle
That fly up in a final striking display
So meticulously that it turns beautiful with respect
So your words lie under reality ...

What star made your brilliant eyes,
What skies your skin's grain
Obliterates the frontiers of illegibility
Beneath the sumptuous landscape of the eunuch moon
The spawned ocean showers on us

I'll shield your tender eyes from the glare of day
I'll kiss the flaring splinter of your heart's deepest hurt
Our words deeper than the sea we will be plural breath
Our words deeper than our souls we will be supreme space

And as she stands there as untouched
As the slowly sinking water
From which she daws her vital powers
Under the ivy of Ithamar

I'll crown your head with a diadem of flowers
I'll unravel the braids of your hair as life
My hands like the rainbow with its arms around us
My fingers I will lay on your raving lips

Eyes full of the sun's golden dregs
Our chalices filled with dewdrops by the moon
