The One Between

The spears enter the heart of order
And the chaos which it brings,
Tears fall from the broken border...
The madness of which it sings;

If only my soul could be persuaded
To believe all that I am told,
Perhaps my mind couldn't be invaded
Or my sunbeams shaded...

All Hail Discordia.

My heart yearns for the murdered morning
And all that it has to say,
The gifted hands of Life adorning
Me with words I'll never obey,

You and me
Are lunacy
You and me
Barely free

All Hail Discordia.

I awake to see I'm not infallible
Shame on me...shame on me...shame,
My emotions are too damned palpable
But I refuse to take the blame,

And if only my soul could be persuaded
To believe all that I am told
Perhaps my mind couldn't be invaded
Or my moonbeams raided

All Hail Discordia.

Heaven help me if I've sinned,
Shame on me...shame on me...shame,
May my brimstone ashes be scattered by wind:
Ingredi externi non serviam

You and me
Are lunacy
You and me
Dost Sol decree

All Hail Discordia.

The watery raindrops upon my head,
The epoch torture...Eris laughed,
A voice of hope, a feeling of dread,
Chaos tamed --Ewige Blumenkraft

Somewhere there is a setting sun,
A mission failed, a purpose lost:
Ali a la alibi...
Lady Luna's lunacy crossed

Shame on me...shame on me...shame
Shame on me...shame on me...shame
Shame on me...shame on me...shame
My fortune stays the same

All Hail Discordia.
