Unmatchable Bride

歌詞

All who come before her pale Meagre charms misfire and fail Heads once haughty to her bowed Thousand ships to face in crowd Unmatchable bride Nothing either side, just you there Above and below Pure dark as you glow/beam through there Sole light in this gloom Late Autumn's perfume drift to here And on her reside Unmatchable bride move through here Forcing perfection deep into imperfect ground "Hail her," let voices sound I'll crush the sunrise To keep my love's eyes from squinting A service well done "Stay down" on the sun imprinting Launching perfection into the imperfect sky "Hail her," raise voices high Bind me with a knot tied twice 'Round my unmatchable bride Call all your forces and Air drive my footprint from the earth Earth my eye deprive of fire Fire my scrawl to ashes turn Ashes cloud all I desire My desire in water drown Water smear and words obscure Words obscure I speak in vain Only chasing my tail once more Earth, air, desire and water, ashes, words and fire My demon disinter If I prove false in faith or strange to her None for limelight to prefer Wasted light that lights not her Each paintbrush dull features shun Paint her portrait or paint none All who come before her pale Meagre charms misfire and fail All who come before her fade Graceless objects crudely made Egypt's queen admits defeat Troy's most famous can't compete Each paintbrush dull features shun Paint her portrait or paint none
