Tom Rapp - Forbidden City lyrics

Rapp Trembling with d**h, The signs clack in the air, Like windchimes. In the forbidden city, The winter carves white silhouettes, Along the avenue. And everything is simple, And everything is new. The blonde-faced lady is frozen, With one hand waving around her neck, Like an alabaster statue. And j**els encircle like a chain of ice, And all that moves around her is the light. In the forbidden city, All things are made of gla**, Red and gold bands form in the frost, As the light goes past, Ideas pause waiting to be born, And I have always thought of snow as peace, A snowparched stone falls in a pond, No circles form again, again, again, again, And there is an end, Of pain. Trembling with d**h, The signs clack in the air, Like windchimes.
