Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
  Don't turn away - don't turn away
  Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
  Don't turn away - don't try to hide...
    Sulphurous and burning, spitting out the sun
  The beginning of creation, of the golden one
  A window to the west, a blazing star above
  In Taurus we begin it and the ladder has begun
    Don't try and blame me for your sins
  For the sun has burned me black
  Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
  I throw it back
    Four-headed dragon for the four degrees of fire
  Purify the insane, bring the solution ever higher
  Bring me all the elements, spread them round my head
  Bring me mad men's bodies, I will break them all like bread
    Don't try and blame me for your sins
  For the sun has burned me black
  Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
  I hurl it back
    (ah-ah-ah-ah)
  (ah-ah-ah-ah)
  (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
  (ah-ah-ah-ah)
  (ah-ah-ah-ah)
  (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
    Don't try and blame me for your sins
  For the sun has burned me black
  Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
  I throw it back
    (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
  Don't try and blame me for your games
  Your games are death
  My world is light - the angels fill my eyes
  With every breath...
    And so we lay
  We lay in the same grave
  Our chemical wedding day
    And so we lay
  We lay in the same grave
  Our chemical wedding day
    And so we lay
  We lay in the same grave
  Our chemical wedding day...
    [long pause...]
    [Spoken:]
    And all this vegetable world appeared on my left foot
  As a bright sandal, formed immortal of precious stones and gold
    I stooped down, and bound it on
  To walk forward through eternity...
