Moments of Respite Lyrics


On occasion of stars aligned

 Gathered upon cemetery hills

 At invitation of the gods

 Open fires bellow sparks

 Spits turn charred succulence

 Potent spirits cascade waterfalls

 Beneath canopy of willows

 In blue moonlight mist

 An extraordinary carousal

 The living and dead

 Cobblers, smiths, fairies in boots

 Plebeians feast with warlords

 And everywhere writhing

 Exquisite enchantresses

 What lot brought me thus?

 All cares lost

 In these moments

 All cares lost

 In these

 Moments of respite

 This historic affair

 Balor and stone angels

 Barmaid dances with centaur

 Revelry raging

 Mars grapples Thor

 Baldur leads fervent anthems

 Mandolin and bodhran

 Mirth and debauchery

 In fragrant breeze

 Sorcerers and philosophers

 Morpheus holding court

 As Dionysus tends bar

 Legends storm the stage

 Heavy and electric

 Pour mine another double

 All cares lost

 In these moments

 All cares lost

 In these

 Moments of respite

 Anubis howls atop cenotaph

 Lust chases coy skirts

 This blur my paradise

 Aphrodite casts her scent

 Passion screams from pavilions

 Satisfied, to wine-stained slumber

 Hours effervescent

 Conversation turns debate

 Then to brawling

 Guests beyond drunken

 Coiled as snakes upon ground

 As apparitions fade

 The gentle fingers of dawn

 Grasp the sky

 Forever I will dream to return

 All cares lost

 In these moments

 All cares lost

 In these

 Moments of respite

 Forever I will dream

 Of these

 Moments of respite

 Dream to return

 To these

 Moments of respite
