As the World Rises and Falls

Lyrics

Your eyes have grown tired of
 Hunting for the fox and the owl
 For smooth stones
 And a safe place to hide
 In the hills is near your home
 Now you walk with bare feet through the wet sand
 And a boy sees you and comes running over
 And stands for forty meters away
 Wanting to walk on water
 To turn you on
 But you don't pay any attention at all
 As the world rises and falls
 Now you have a woman's shape
 Thunderbolts in your fingertips
 He has his eyes pinned on you
 Be careful, he has whips and chains
 And he plays ancient games
 Over anyone standing in his way
 He can change the color of the sky
 If he wants to
 But its only magic use to him
 Don't be easily taken
 Or he won't remember you at all
 As the world rises and falls
 I tried to tell you not to love him
 Strongly as you did
 You'll go out again someday
 But you won't forget him for a long time
 He tore the mask off your face
 And then put you down
 And made you want him
 More than anyone before
 And then he walked away
 And you don't hear from him at all
