Let the Purple

Sad Mr. Somebody said to the sun
Can’t keep this creature,
cost me my arm
Patience was pretty, perfect, and polite
I was the desert, dead but full of life

Oh, let the purple open your eyes
danger looks empty caught in surprise
I've got another whisper to tell
boys are dancing ‘round the wishing well

Ashes would fall before dawn broke
and liars would speak truth in their throats
desire is the fickle daughter of lust
casting nets for halos is never enough

Oh, let the purple open your eyes
danger looks empty caught in surprise
I've got another whisper to tell
boys are dancing ‘round the wishing well

And the light begins anew
purple being born
dazzling, spinning, weeping
no need for body’s warmth
but the mind, can’t survive
without the beating heart
you will find souls allied
by the colors we become

Oh, let the purple open your eyes
danger looks empty caught in surprise
I've got another whisper to tell
boys are dancing ‘round the wishing well
