lyrics

Like a dragon of intervention, there was a blossom in my heart
For the love that waits a thousand years, may the end become the start
At the moment we hit clarity as our skin was intertwined,
Our love became a charity for the pearls amongst the swine

Oh lover! Lovely Lilly! You take the stars out of the sea
Oh lover! Lovely Lilly! You take the stars out of me

As I passed the painted circle full of the ladies in peach dresses
They danced around my questions, all the night had kept me guessing
The riddles of their lovers became the armies to their quest
And as i fell into the circle, we forgot about the rest

Oh lover! Lovely Lilly! You take the stars out of the sea
Oh lover! Lovely Lilly! You take the stars out of me

I walked through darkened corridors and fought with all my strength
Passed rooms with painted animals, they laughed at my distress
The walls were getting narrower, I swore I saw your face
I tripped and fell into you arms, I thought I was awake

Oh lover! Lovely Lilly! You took the stars out of the sea
Oh lover! Lovely Lilly! You took the stars out of me
You took the pain from my face,
You gave me love and changed my fate
You took the stars out of me.
