You trade your soul to live forever And stay, imortally disgraced You stand in righteous wingspread pose In you mouth burns freedom’s elusive taste But never will you fly You stand through ages Through empires and wars But your life is just a lie You stare with empty eyes At an ever changing world You sit in silent longing For the universe to die Never satisfied Never to create Never to destroy Never, Never, Never All your world is void The iron’s strong The wood is firm The water cool But you the fool The drum beats The fiddle sings But no one envies Your marble wings Men will fall Grow old and die Empires crumble Eons pass by But the marble dove Will never fly

The Marble Dove
You trade your soul to live forever And stay, imortally disgraced You stand in righteous wingspread pose In you mouth burns freedom’s elusive taste But never will you fly You stand through ages Through empires and wars But your life is just a lie You stare with empty eyes At an ever changing world You sit in silent longing For the universe to die Never satisfied Never to create Never to destroy Never, Never, Never All your world is void The iron’s strong The wood is firm The water cool But you the fool The drum beats The fiddle sings But no one envies Your marble wings Men will fall Grow old and die Empires crumble Eons pass by But the marble dove Will never fly
