Echo & Narcissus
-------------------
Born under prophecy
Child of the river’s cry
Carved in pale divine
Beauty's curse

Echo watch the wanderer roam
Shadows in her throat
Voice broken by Hera
Repeating what she's told
Repeating what she's told

Her outstretched fading fingers
He turns like winter's stone
Her body falls to silence
But her words live on alone

Kneeling in black water
Haunted by reflection
Besotted by a ghost in the mirror
Dying for the boy beneath the stream
Echo calls his final words
A requiem against the trees

Hey now

And where he falls a flower grows
White petals for his tragedy
Drinks from the stillness
As the pool becomes a tomb
Falls in love with the stranger
Staring back like doom

Arms through the water
Grasping at a dream
A kiss that breaks to ripples
A love that cannot breath

He whispers to the darkness
The darkness whispers back
A lover made of water
A heart about to crack

In the black water he kneels
Haunted by the face he sees

I am the fire that burns me
I am the wound that bleeds

I am the lover and the dying
The mirror swallows me
In the black water I fade

Shadows drowning me
Echo cries my name forever
A voice condemned to repeat
to repeat
to repeat
