Layli's Song (Her Demon Love):
Some have deemed my soul unworthy
Of a love which shatters understanding
For everything he touches shimmers
Through reality
In his madness there is a gifted touch
His being now a beast is such
He lays beside the lion as gentle as the lamb
It was my sin that put him there
Beyond the centuried world of man
They doubt my troth I love him
I die at the sight of him
That I have slain love itself for the sake of society
Winged vessels are his messengers
They come to me by night
Impart to me his poetry
Which sets my soul to flight
I will not wear my hair in braids
I will not let him see me
Because I know it kills him
So my heart must go on deceived be
And I will die alone in time
His body will rest next to mine
Our souls rejoicing song will chime
And we shall then together be...
Of a love which shatters understanding
For everything he touches shimmers
Through reality
In his madness there is a gifted touch
His being now a beast is such
He lays beside the lion as gentle as the lamb
It was my sin that put him there
Beyond the centuried world of man
They doubt my troth I love him
I die at the sight of him
That I have slain love itself for the sake of society
Winged vessels are his messengers
They come to me by night
Impart to me his poetry
Which sets my soul to flight
I will not wear my hair in braids
I will not let him see me
Because I know it kills him
So my heart must go on deceived be
And I will die alone in time
His body will rest next to mine
Our souls rejoicing song will chime
And we shall then together be...
