Lyrics of Silver apples

The earth becomes gold / and gold earth / a promise inhaled / with the breath of our birth / we chase the dragon / trip the lights / burning our eyes / on marvelous sights
We are there (once awake) / once asleep (never more) / can we open the door
And in the end / we kiss the ones / sleeping next to us / with the lips of a snake / heart full of hell / fearing that they would wake / so fragile they could break
The silver apples of our truth / green and gold of bygone youth / haunting us each day to / return anew / and day by day the thing inside / grows and devours us alive / just as sure as we will die / just as sure as we will die
