Crescent lyrics

The stars you see in the night sky

Have been dead for centuries

Starlight creates the illusion

Of life for all these years

Now I no longer trust these eyes of mine

The heart must speak to me

In tongues of forgotten voices

In ancient harmonies

So that I can see

Heavens are merely illusions

When you build them high in the sky

And hell is the final solution

For those who have no faith in this life

They are blinded by lies

Here in the garden, fountain of life

Here in the garden, arcane delights

Are born from the womb

Down here the seed will rise

From dark earth to the light

To kiss the sun again

She brings me flowers

To ease the pain

She brings me light

Where only darkness reigns

And the more that I see

The more life means to me

And the way you love the wild earthen dream

She sings her song for you and me

I don't care what lies beyond this world

All I really care about is you

For Mother Nature’s gifts of life have made

Have made this world a paradise for you and I
