Var Gud over Er

I placed her steady, in front of me
 And within her lips, she caved into me
 And hold her fast, fast I did
 Lest she be swept from this earth
 ♪
 The sullen coast of her heart
 The menace of her island
 I know that I am unkind
 I'm honoured, lover, that you still try
 ♪
 Her heart, careful and broken
 She places its pieces below
 And with the length of her whole body
 Are shadows so very old
 ♪
 Her body was a belief
 My kiss, its dedication
 A serpent, this is she
 Whose scales release the ocean
 Her weeping face, I hold in my hand
 As her salutation
 ♪
 It's from her shadows
 She took me, to cast asunder
 She that fears my presence
 Loves me when I am absent
 The growing blindness of my soul
 Sinking under
