Like a demon, like a ghost Balancing on nerves, dancing on the edge Like a wheel or a dream Spinning enlessly, spinning helplessly A painted drama, a feverish restraint An unspoken trauma in sweltering nihgts Like a ray of light that stains a bitter sweetness Into the darkest wine A dark chimera wide awake Sipping from the lifeblood I drank, drank from you I drank wine like blood Blood like wine And the magic sounds of inspiration I learned, learned from you A hidden secret Black as rain Moving me, moving on and on This is the way of the mystic Into the eyes of god This is the weight the moves the hand This is the hand that moves the stone A ravaged beauty, unfeeling and unsafe A power that resides in the labyrinth of sound This is a fire that ignites itself This is a mystery of art So much more than craft or chemistry Gabriel 'gainst Azrael You spoke, spoke to me A silent prayer For the pain And the driving force of desperation You sang, sang to me Haunting songs of hope And songs of doubt Moving me, moving on and on A force like lightning over mountains A permanent disease It's you and me together On a highway without end I drank, drank from you I drank wine like blood Blood like wine And the magic sounds of inspiration I learned, learned from you A hidden secret Black as rain Moving me, moving on and on
