You, who like the moon at night
Haunted my mortal heart

You who made these ancient walls
Shine like divine marble
The unwanted breath - through creedence
A derelict shell in the desert, oh

Mesmerized

As love inflamed the night
Burning tongues brought the rain
The sand remained, purified

Murmur at the meager's spear
Battered Cartagian pride
The beloved cry, wasted dismay
Invasion of baseness and shade, oh

Mesmerized

As love inflamed the night
Burning tongues brought the rain
The sand remained, purified

You, loved by your father
Innocent as a vestal, dove
Buried in a deep blue sea
As we all lose, ever

Mesmerized, mesmerized
