Testo Mikael

Testo Mikael

Mikael, Mikael, be by my side

to grip my arm when i would hide

to lick my tongue to lay the blame

to take my hand to pull its frightened flesh into the flame


Where are we from why are we hear?

What could we lose? What could we fear?

What can we take? What can we win?

What stays behind, what makes us want to walk this road again?



**


Ribbon ribbon your job is this

to tell the world that i exist

to tell the world that i am here

the one they love

the one they will soon learn to never fear



**



You slide your hands between my thighs

you spread my legs you watch my eyes

you place your tongue inside; i let you in

you leave my house & still i know that you'll be back again



Father Father your lonely child

so touched by other worlds so cold and wild

your flame your flame i took it in

i spoke my name and now the whole world knows where i begin
