Lyrics Poetry For The Poisoned, Pt. Ii: So Long

[Roy]
A minute more, till the light of day is seen, lay down,
I know you must be nearly there
A bloody kiss and the vision of a dream
For the last of your days in the sun

[Simone]
In the white light I am calm
Yet peculiarly cold
Silent slumber and wide awake
Lord have mercy on my soul

[Choir, Roy] So long your sorrow be gone
[Simone] Show me how it feels to be alive
[Choir, Roy] No more denial
[Roy] So long
[Simone] Let us find a place where we can hide

[Roy]
You fed me long, and by God you fed me well
Sleep tight, this day belongs to you my dear
And I am bound like a beast into its prey
We are one of a kind, you and I

[Simone]
Pale moon wander, I'm wide awake
Lord have mercy on my soul

[Choir, Roy] So long your sorrow be gone
[Simone] Show me how it feels to be alive
[Choir, Roy] No more denial
[Roy] So long
[Simone] Show me all the splendors of the night

[Choir] So long
[Roy] The little last of your attention
[Choir] So long
[Roy] This flood to wash your mind
[Choir] Feel me
[Roy] The God of your imagination
[Choir] Feel me
[Roy] Come with me tonight

[Guitar solo]

[Roy, Simone] So long your sorrow be gone
[Roy] Show me how it feels to be alive
[Roy, Simone] No more denial, so long
