Dark Harvest

In an age of separation and impersonal desire I hungered for her liberation My fingers aching to untie her In this dark harvest watch illusion burn In this dark harvest, the king will return. Bring me down into your body Heal me in your heart's clay Look in deeper to the mirror Looking deeper through my shame I want to know you to your marrow Feel the longing in the bone I want to kiss you in the shadow I want to love you on the throne Cos this a dark harvest, the lover's fire burns In this dark harvest, the queen takes her turn. In the darkest part of me, All the ground I tried to flee Persephone come back to me In the darkest part of me. Cos this a dark harvest, when the work is done In this dark harvest, let the kingdom come. I took you in the underworld The pomegranate seed Something deep inside you loved to touch Something deep inside of me. And I watched her move for hours Seasons of memory Demeter handpicked every flower To touch eternity. Cos this is dark harvest The lovers live to burn In this dark harvest the king will return.
