Iago's Demise

Faith And The Muse


Ophelia   Cordelia   Desdemona   And Kate   
My sweetness and Beatrice   So precious your pain   

I sing for your lovers   Your heavenly fathers to be   
Your possible futures   Your obvious endings defeat me   

Alma   Badoura   Dorothea   And Jade   
Belphoebe is just like me   Such perfect disdain   

I sing for the daughters   The heavenly mothers to be   
Insanity's wanderings   Ritual fatherings greet me   

So carry me (there's no one to)   Comfort me (there's no one to)   
Care for me (there's no one to)   Capture me   

Ophelia (I dream of the daughters to be)   Cordelia (the ritual fatherings)   
Desdemona (the heavenly mothers to be)   And Kate (insanity's wanderings)   
Alma (the sons and the lovers to be)   Badoura (the infidel creatures like me)   
Dorothea (the virginal martyrs to be)   And Jade (the doting fathers)   

I sing for the passive   The heavenly loyals to be   
The unrewarded loves   Obvious endings defeat me   

While I'm asleep I can open my eyes   What my lucid heart speaks   Conscious caution denies   
Here betwixt and between   Lies Iago's demise   As I sing for my creatures   Their infidel features   

Ophelia (I dream of the fathers to be)   Cordelia (the heavenly loyals like me)   
Desdemona (insanit''s wanderings)   And Kate (suicide's followers)   
My sweetness (the virginal martyrs to be)   And Beatrice (the doting lovers for she)   
So precious (the unrewarded like me)   Your pain (the infidel creatures)   
Alma (the worshipful followers)   Badoura (the doting mothers to be)   
Dorothea (the constant martyrs)   And Jade (the unaging fathers)   
Belphoebe (the unloving characters)   Is just like me (insanity's wanderings)   
Such perfect (the heavenly daughters to be)   Disdain (the obvious endings)
