Translation
Bilingual
They say the king of birds
And the queen of hearts
Wore each other's keys
Before they called the wedding off
And all the feathers rained down
And the town fell asleep
Pulling on the poems
For the midnight sun
Pulling on the poems
For the midnight sun
ย
Yeah, she shook the ground (Shook the ground)
With every breath (Every breath)
Tossed his troubles aside (Troubles aside)
Made a shrine of every mess
Well, a woman appeared (Woman appeared)
With a guillotine smile (Guillotine smile)
She handed him a rose (Handed him a rose)
Then he turned to stone
She handed him a rose
And he turned to stone
ย
Then they laid him in the creek
Where the river ran dry
To the mouth of wisdom
And the end of doubt
Then the woman reappeared
With a blank spread smile
Took him by the rose
Then he turned to stone
Yeah, she handed him a rose
Left him all alone
ย
Well, they lifted the stone (The stone)
Then they mapped the stars (The stars)
Brought back the keys (Keys)
And unlocked their hearts (Their hearts)
And the birds returned (The birds)
With songs in their eyes (Their eyes)
With maps to the world (The world)
Never seen
Maps to the world
Never seen
