Apple, crown and sword
Lions green and red
By fire killed and wed
One more day youÂ'll see
Master good John Dee
Wisdom's granted me
To live eternally
And shining the apparition
On the western window smiles
On our Golden Lane
The Powder Tower that knows
No night from a day
Death in Prague
The bell tolls on the square
The twelve apostols' snare
St Vitus' sun wheels
Look down on broken seals
And as wheel obeys the sun
Abide Europa's son
If dying is the answer
Then dying be done
And golden turned his face
Under torches and death runes
Like all glories short
For those who stand too tall
In black, in Prague
Death in Prague
I'll give you eyes of blue and hair like gold of sun
A mind to see beyond the light of life undone
I'll give your blood so pure as it runs right through your hands
Your Stone to pain you when you're old you'll understand
I'll give you letters five to wear above your eyes
The wisdom of the ages sought by men all-wise
I'll give you a forehead to scream death of living god
I'll give you life I'll give you death
Kings adored, abhorred Apple, crown and sword Lions green and red By fire killed and wed One more day youÂ'll see Master good John Dee Wisdom's granted me To live eternally And shining the apparition On the western window smiles On our Golden Lane The Powder Tower that knows No night from a day Death in Prague The bell tolls on the square The twelve apostols' snare St Vitus' sun wheels Look down on broken seals And as wheel obeys the sun Abide Europa's son If dying is the answer Then dying be done And golden turned his face Under torches and death runes Like all glories short For those who stand too tall In black, in Prague Death in Prague I'll give you eyes of blue and hair like gold of sun A mind to see beyond the light of life undone I'll give your blood so pure as it runs right through your hands Your Stone to pain you when you're old you'll understand I'll give you letters five to wear above your eyes The wisdom of the ages sought by men all-wise I'll give you a forehead to scream death of living god I'll give you life I'll give you death Explain Request ×
