Nu femme de Ximnu

What do you want?
A catalyst of my eternal torment
Delivered by my own hand and thought
And sourced within my very soul
I cannot fault you even for a moment,
Yet you and you alone wield this power,
What do you want?

Where do you aim?
You're stuck without easy answers,
And cannot move with sacred grace,
But when the lights go out,
Your mind fills with dreaming, sacred dancers,
Yet you and you alone wield this power,
Where do you aim?

Why do you do, the things you do?
What's right and what seems right differ,
Observers are our court, but we're our own judge,
and judges swayed by nearby opinion,
just make the corpse of justice even stiffer,
Yet you and you alone wield this power,
Why do you do, the things you do?

What do you want?
Yet you and you alone wield the power,
To want, to aim, to do, to crush
This dreaming, dancing, flying lover,
You and you alone,
Hold that dreaming, sacred brush.
