Disperse your sparkling trace
Lead him on to the house of love
Where the God may turn his eyes
Disperse your sparkling trace
Lead him on to the house of love
Where the God may turn his eyes

New assassins, new messiahs
Keepers of a balanced law
Strangest lovers of the fire
Which ignites the halo of our souls
Keepers of a balanced law
Strangest lovers of the fire
Which ignites the halo of our souls
