lyrics

Father Sky was in his house, when he spit out a vessel that couldn't carry water. The year before, the bull got out; whipped by his eternal Venus.
Marry them with a stone and throw them through the window.
Marry them with a stone and throw them in the ocean;
Let them drown. Deluge, smiles.

Frightenedly, the time wore on. The evening sun cascading in its dying. In fragile youth's delinquency, the bull would turn against the mother.
Taste the blood, it's in your mouth. Lap it up, you minotaur.
You'll make her a Lazarus because you can't control your anger.
Beg to try. Deluge, smiles.

Three tries dead, and she will succumb.
She gives in, and they will have a son.
Tearing flesh, the time has come.
Their severed hearts distort as one, to make -
Aries.

He will wage a war on both of them; challenge what became their nature.
He will teach the girl to throw her spear -
And the bull to hold a flower.
Better yet, he might kill the both of them in their beds while they are sleeping -
Better that, than to lie awake all night and listen to their weeping.
