Verse I (Демон, тихо, благоговейно) You lay me down beneath the tree, And all the shadows cease to be. Your hands are trembling on my skin, And I have never let someone in. I feel your breath against my throat, A whispered word, a silent oath. And I am bare, and I am weak — And I have never felt so meek. Chorus (нежно, вместе) O, the gilded bough above, Witness to this quiet love. Flesh to flesh and breath to breath, Life is born from little death. And the mist begins to glow, As we learn to let go. Verse II (Уилл, тихо, страстно) I trace the horns, I trace the scar, I kiss the man you truly are. You hold me close, you pull me near, And I have never felt so here. Your voice is breaking in my ear, You whisper things I long to hear. And I am yours, and you are mine — And all the world is left behind. Bridge (Демон, нарастающе, страстно) And when you pull me deep inside, The ancient curse begins to died. I feel your heart against my chest, And I have never been so blessed. I move with you, I lose my name, I am not shadow, I am flame. And in the rhythm of your sigh, I forget the years gone by. Climax (вместе, страстно, на пике) O, the orchard starts to fade, Every shadow, every shade. I am inside you, you are me, And at last, we are free. The gilded bough is breaking through, The light is pouring, bright and new. And in the moment that we fall, We are not prisoners — we are all. Final Chorus (тихо, светло, как рассвет) O, the gilded bough above, Witness to this quiet love. Flesh to flesh and breath to breath, Life is born from little death. And the mist has turned to gold, And the story can be told. Outro (шёпотом, растворяясь) ...And the story can be told... ...We are free... ...We are free...
