Prince Rama - beast of j**els lyrics

in the forest pygmy trees there were none taller than my knees I saw the rock that had no face I saw the rock that had no trace of pollen paved cosmologies that were dispersed by cosmic bees that saw the earth as petaled seeds and jade jade: my eyes mercury: my lungs amethyst: my thighs carmine: my tongue sapphire: my nose emerald: my wrist carnelian: my toes zircon: my fist I know what I want to be I plated all my teeth with gold I said a prayer for young and old I stopped and stared I saw the house I saw the host I saw the pictures of the ghost I stopped and stared and stared and stopped we're in time and time to grow we"re in time and time to grow I know that you won't fade to gray I know I won't forget your face we've made a beast, we've made a beast we've made a beat of j**els and teeth that never falters when he feeds that never grows a rose from seeds our fingers let the light decay our fingers let the light decay our might was what we'd never ever known our might was what we'd never ever shown we're in time and time to grow we're in time and time to grow I know that you won't fade to gray I know I won't forget your face I know I won't forget your face
