about

This song is a tribute to William Blake, there are some references to his poetry in the lyrics.

lyrics

Please don't love me, if you feel like it's your duty,
Prisons are built with stones of law.
If you love me, please don't be proud or jealous,
That's not what true love is for.

Darkness comes, and my energy seems to die,
And the angels have gone,
Leaving us, to cry, but remember,

William friend in eternity,
Your eyes have seen what mine have seen,
Men with bound desire,
Passion that takes you higher,
Like a divine comedy,
And a spiritual tragedy,
One that forces humility.
A dream for all people,
One where all are equal,
William friend in eternity,
Your eyes have seen what mine have seen.

Won't you help me cultivate my understanding,
Find that mystical bliss within.
Please don't love me, if you only want to judge me,
Not everything is a sin.

When our thoughts no longer race,
And the world,
Becomes impossible to face, remember,

William friend in eternity,
You felt the same extremes as me,
Lows beyond all sadness,
All kinds of crazy madness,
William friend in eternity,
You felt the same extremes as me.

Creeping skeletons cause issues of melancholy,
But I'm not seeking some sickly rose,
If you love me, please don't try to control me,
I'll show you, you're the one I chose.
