Misham—
The seed of Ishmael never blossomed
Flowers such as you;
Refresh your petals in the Jordan,
And let your fragrance linger, too.
Misham—
The Sultan’s palace holds no splendor
Next to your eyes;
For, even veiled, they stir my spirit—
For, even veiled, they tantalize.
Misham—
We shall be wed at dusk tomorrow—
One in the night;
So tell your clan of the occasion;
The stars above provide the light.
Misham—
The rumors spread of urban danger—
Wolves among the fawns;
Don’t go to Market in the morning;
Don’t go to Market in the dawn…
Misham—
News travels quickly through the alley—
Poisonous darts;
You left a fortune for a dowry:
Its currency is broken hearts.
Misham—
The martyrs welcome you to Heaven—
Bride for the Groom;
And so alone I face the Future;
And so alone I face the gloom.
Misham—
Oh, Misham—
Don’t go to Market in the morning;
Don’t go to Market in the dawn…

The Future Is Behind Us
04:29
|

There’s no use in makin' promises;
The solace has been ripped from the rose.
Followed by the ghost
Of the stillborn child of Boldness and Presumption—
The grandson of Boasts...
You prophesy, “The Future is behind us;
Gone in the fog with the night.”
It’s all my fault
You turned to salt;
Annihilated by the light.
We are the locusts of the Exodus—
The monuments destroyed by the sand.
Now all that’s left of us
Is a handful of dust;
Ashes in a foreign land...
You prophesy, “The Future is behind us;
Gone in the fog with the night.”
It’s all my fault
You turned to salt;
Annihilated by the light.
I swear I’ll answer if you’re callin’ (x3)
But you don’t…
You prophesy, “The Future is behind us;
Gone in the fog with the night.”
It’s all my fault
You turned to salt;
Annihilated by the light.
Future is behind us (x3)
Gone in the fog with the night
I hear you callin’(x2)
Gone in the fog with the night
I hear you…
