Lay the flowers shaped as roses down Such a path I may walk upon With no such thing as regret Misanthropy leads me Blue waves wash the serpents out from my eyes And the serpents sigh Hear the serpents cry Blue waves wash the serpents out from my eyes And the serpents sigh Hear the serpents cry The room unknown to human eyes Will grant thee welcome open wide Blue is the light of which you despise The days invite you to dance Blue waves wash the serpents out from my eyes And the serpents sigh Hear the serpents cry Blue waves wash the serpents out from my eyes And the serpents sigh Hear the serpents cry Joyless laughter I know it's not mine Although I surely recognize it as my own. Blue waves wash the serpents out from my eyes And the serpents sigh Hear the serpents cry Blue waves wash the serpents out from my eyes And the serpents sigh Hear the serpents cry Red is the light of life White is the light of death Blue is the light the velvet shines Rays, heaven Blue waves wash the serpents out from my eyes And the serpents sigh Hear the serpents cry Blue waves wash the serpents out from my eyes And the serpents sigh Hear the serpents cry
