Lyrics for Salamander in Two Worlds
Open your eyes, Salamander, and breathe Called by my mother's voice into a world of water, stone, and softenin' wood Growin' strong on the dark wet food of literature and leaves Then the rain burned and father learned to cry And we in the gardens of our enemies Learned to die or learned to hide our losses In the evergray of mornin' Eating poison Strong from poison, alive in the arms of death Last of the Salamanders, child of the first breath! Salamander in two worlds! Water and fire! Salamander in two worlds! Water and fire! Open your eyes, Salamander, and breathe! Strong from poison, alive in the arms of death Last of the Salamanders, child of the first breath! Strong from poison, alive in the arms of death Last of the Salamanders, child of the first breath! Salamander in two worlds! Water and fire! Salamander in two worlds! Water and fire!
