As the Wheel Turns

from Rituals by Raphael and the Thorns

/

lyrics

The years go by
Time drifts away
But still the tides
Rule my day
I can almost trick myself
To unburden my head
When I come home
To an empty bed

Aquarius, save me
From a life of loneliness
Your waves have come to break me
Your sea has come to take me
The same old swan song
Keeps ringing in my ears
But nothing changes here
No, nothing changes here

Every poem I wrote
Is cluttered in deceit
Written by a heartfelt hand
Drenched in disbelief
I ignite the pages
I watch them burn
The soil bleeds to ash
As the wheel turns

Slowly, painfully
Taking its toll on me

Aquarius, save me
From a life of loneliness
Your waves have come to break me
Your sea has come to take me
The same old swan song
Keeps ringing in my ears
But nothing changes here
No, nothing changes here

Maiden, Mother, Crone

Aquarius, save me
From a life of loneliness
Your waves have come to break me
Your sea has come to take me
The same old swan song
Keeps ringing in my ears
But nothing changes here
With the turning of the years

RAPHAEL AND THE THORNS is a solo project originating from the need to create dark but cathartic music with a wide range of influences, both in sound and identity. The darker undertones of the guitars, the slower tempo of the tracks, and the theatrical flair of the strings, synths and vocals make this project ideal for any who enjoy roomy, gloomy and doomy music. ... more
