J. Tillman
mere ornaments
Select language to translate this lyric
Pale moon at the end of days
Bangles bracelets here at the gate
What need have I for silver and rings
Here in the dark I am just as I came
Though I knew my visage would be changed
Once I passed through those gates
I passed through those seven gates
Oh death
Oh my lord
Why the ornaments you hock and hoard
Only love is fool enough to ask
Why I've cheated
Why I've stolen
The only thing
I can't have
As I went down
Your body bathed in myrrh
Was strewn across the earth
I am the life and the stillbirth
