lyrics

I saw you trembling down the path
Your savage head was hung in shame
And as I fled from your walled city
I didn't hear you call my name

My life is changing with the seasons
Summer's over but I don't mind
The harsh impediments of winter
Helios still makes me blind

So please continue without mercy
My queen won't rest til I am gone
Please continue without mercy
My queen will not rest til I am gone

Orpheus, your melodies are haunting me
And though I understand your pain
Focus your contrivance on the future
And never look this way again

And please continue without mercy
My queen won't rest til I am gone
Please continue without mercy
My queen will not rest til I am gone

And I cannot escape the valkyries
I hear them howling far behind
They fill my wounded throat with spirits
Children of Demeter please be kind

And I cannot escape the gargoyles
I hear their footsteps in the air
Their expectations are incongruous
Children of Demeter show you care

And I can not escape the vampires
I feel their presence late at night
They protect me from the cathedral
Children of Demeter bring us light

And I cannot escape the valkyries
The dead are living once again / Children of Demeter bring us light
And I cannot escape the gargoyles
They are the devil's only friend / children of Demeter bring us light
And I cannot escape the vampires
Wormwood and morphine poems incite / children of Demeter bring us light
And I cannot escape my demons
CHILDREN OF DEMETER BRING US LIGHT
