When i close my eyes at night,
Those last waking moments
I see your face, you’re near,
I sense your love in fear
The myriad colours of your life flash before me,
So unlike the fading cardinals,
Remain, forever here
I see through your eyes,
The pain of disapproval
Remaining silent,
You hear all that they say
Your agony is veiled,
Their folly you entertain
They see a fool,
Not a man with a name
You are the harlequin that walks with me,
Your violet light burns
The mistress and the harlequin,
Citadels around me
They speak forever without words
He will follow always,
Wanting to possess her
Bewitched by a spell,
That she faithfully weaves
Harlequin can you escape,
The jester of nature?
For they drain your life’s laughter,
They are the thieves
You are the harlequin that walks with me,
Your violet light burns
The mistress and the harlequin,
Citadels around me
They speak forever without words
In your eyes i see a child,
Who has seen pain and been betrayed,
But you, you will never leave me
In the carnival of light,
You wait in the shadows
You save with rose scent,
When the fatal hour draws near
To my guide and shelter,
In the blinding rain of silver
I give my soul azure,
And here it will forever remain
You are the harlequin that walks with me,
Your violet light burns
The mistress and the harlequin,
Citadels around me
They speak forever without words
