Surely Ash Rome

As the mirror reflects without becoming
I have sworn you my love now
Out on the desert plain
The machine is humming
Are we to make it through somehow?
And willingly I will sign the deed to be done
And woe to Thee, my heart
You will bleed for the one

I was once so sure, so sure and brash
Now I find that all is surely ash
I was once so sure, so sure and brash
Now I find that all is surely ash
Now I find that all is surely ash

So cloth me with your selfhood
In rose and in gold
And I will shed myself now
In a tale half-told
And willingly I will sign the deed to be done
And woe to Thee, my heart
You willll bleed for the one

I was once so sure, so sure and brash
Now I find that all is surely ash
I was once so sure, so sure and brash
Now I find that all is surely ash
