You Lost My Memory - Skyclad

Unstoppable forces and immovable objects

Repel one another when by chance colliding

The Brownian motion within this love potion

Ensures our opinions are always dividing

I am from Mars my dear, you hail from Venus

A meeting star-crossed like the Sun and the Moon

Destined to let this cruel world come between us

Our last kiss eclipsed by a shadow at noon

A rose that is built out of music by moonlight

Petals stained ruby with nightingale blood

Cast down in disgust to be crushed by a cartwheel

Because of mere trivia misunderstood

We quest for a grail of illusive perfection

Each hoping we’ll find it some glorious day

Yet gaze with remorse at our jaded reflection

That looks like The Picture Of Dorian Gray

Siamese Twins who were joined at the heart

Love’s an affliction without known remedy

Blunt-bladed fate deemed to cleave us apart

Emotional surgery pays no indemnity

Some seek release with effete anesthesia

Others adapt to the role of sworn enemy

You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia

It was far easier losing my memory

You lost my memory

«Sing love’s lament with a thorn at your breast

Impaled by her barb

Cruel and unforgiving

A million dead poets would gladly attest

Heart-ache's a keepsake

To remind us we’re living»

Siamese Twins who were joined at the heart

Love’s an affliction without known remedy

Blunt-bladed fate deemed to cleave us apart

Emotional surgery pays no indemnity

Some seek release with effete anesthesia

Others adapt to the role of sworn enemy

You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia

It was far easier losing my memory
