As the World Rises and Falls

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
