Per Aspera ad Lunae - II. Two Queens Appear by Empire of the Moon Lyrics
Clusters and nebulae flow out of sight
With the avidity that I advance
My thought is haunted by, her eerie song
Ringing still, echoes, drawing me on and on
As I approach an odd star, I seem to suddenly halt
It blooms black and cardinal
Two hearts that beat as one
A mantra of lust and hate and of primordial hunger
Crushing my mind in pain, tearing my soul asunder
Screams and cries fill my mind, blood is all my heart desires
Both are lurking, they’re closing in, are attacking me from either side
Four and one eyes that seek to look inside, deep in me
They are two and they are here
Swirling matter acquires form
Drawing the life of the stars nearby
All was bright, now everything dies!
The Queens, now start to Rise!
“You are the One we seek to find
Before you meet Her, you must die”
“Is this the struggle I must endure?
I choose not to live without her sight”
With the avidity that I advance
My thought is haunted by, her eerie song
Ringing still, echoes, drawing me on and on
As I approach an odd star, I seem to suddenly halt
It blooms black and cardinal
Two hearts that beat as one
A mantra of lust and hate and of primordial hunger
Crushing my mind in pain, tearing my soul asunder
Screams and cries fill my mind, blood is all my heart desires
Both are lurking, they’re closing in, are attacking me from either side
Four and one eyes that seek to look inside, deep in me
They are two and they are here
Swirling matter acquires form
Drawing the life of the stars nearby
All was bright, now everything dies!
The Queens, now start to Rise!
“You are the One we seek to find
Before you meet Her, you must die”
“Is this the struggle I must endure?
I choose not to live without her sight”
