"Lucifer, That Day..."

Lucifer, that day, looked so much Iike you
That the bad winds here
Left for another life
These weary sighs
Cruel celebration
Is heaven waiting for them?

It lt dead, the voracious desire
Dead or more than a year
Love is a brief dream
Oh Lady
My life is running away
Oh Lady
The light is killing me
It is dead, the voracious desire
And trembling, what can I dare hope for?

She whistles, the poisonous one
Silently she slips out of bed
She smoothes her scales
Without making a sound

Deceitful lover
Embraces me in vain
He opens the heart
And renders the skies useless
