ALTAR EGO - Lyon XM
I light a candle for the girl I buried
Names are not allowed to speak
I kneel beneath this holy silence
The shadows arise every time I breathe
I wear your shame like sacred perfume
By robes of virgin white
But in the mirror's black I see her
The one who dances in the night
Altar, ego
Altar, ego
I pray in the dark to the goddess I can't show
I'm the wound and I'm the martyr, your devotion, your shadow
I am in one confession
An angel with horns below
Don't love me at the altar
You'll meet my other ego
Altar, ego
Altar, ego
I kiss the rosary in secret
Desire the crucifix
He said I'm sin in human costume
But touch my lips like holy script
I swallow fire to be silent
But silence made the fire grow
Now she's screaming from the altar
Now she's rising from the low
I light a candle for the girl I buried
I pray in the dark to the goddess I can't show
I'm the wound and I'm the martyr, your devotion, your shadow
I am in one confession
An angel with horns below
Don't love me at the altar
You'll meet my other ego
Altar, altar
Bring the wine, the holy water
Crown my rage in silver flame
There's a girl that needs this altar
And she's whispering my name
Altar, ego
Altar, ego
Kiss me at the altar but bow before my ego
In one confession
You're saving your sins to sow
Kiss me at the altar but bow before my ego
Altar, ego
Altar, ego
