Brilho de Facas

Shine of Knives
There's a shine of a knife
Where love comes
And no one has the map
Of a woman's soul...
No one leaves
With a heart unscathed
Trying to reveal
A wonderful being
Between the Serpent
And the Star...
A great love from the past
Turns into aversion
And both side by side
Eat away at the heart...
There's no sharper longing
Than that of
An absent great love
Hard as a diamond
Cuts through our illusions...
I carry on with life
Pretending not to suffer
But the numb chest
Awaits a loving touch
And I know it won't be a surprise
If the future brings me
The past back
In a woman's face
The past back
In a woman's face...
