Cocoon Songtext
von Richard Henshall

Scratching the black walls
Yearning for a flicker
A cloak over his face
And a dagger in his side
Gazing through closed eyes
Blinded by the shadows
The curse of the pupa
Consumed by the cocoon

Bound by silken chains
Inside the silken cage

Bound by silken chains
Inside the silken cage

Predisposed to embrace the shadows
Susceptible to the silken lies
Oblivious to the lies before him
Insensible to the curse of the cocoon


Shadows on the wall
(Trapped in the pupa
Staring through the ether)
The tethered moth′s song
(Serenade of the afterglow
Blinded by shadows)
Shadows on the wall
(Trapped in the pupa
Lost in a state of reverie)
The tethered moth's song
(Serenade of the afterglow
Blinded by shadows)

Held down by the clutch of the cocoon
Trapped inside the wretched silken cage

Predisposed to embrace the shadows
Susceptible to the silken lies
Oblivious to the lies before him
And the curse of the cocoon

Shadows on the wall
(Trapped in the pupa
Staring through the ether)
The tethered moth′s song
(Serenade of the afterglow
Blinded by shadows)
Shadows on the wall
(Trapped in the pupa
Lost in a state of reverie)
The tethered moth's song
(Serenade of the afterglow
Lost in a state of pupa)
