Tori Amos Night of Hunters



As the day gave way
To Nautical Twilight
 I turned my back on
 The force of which I am made

I am bound and gagged
Rupturing a delicate balance
When I left my world for his

 Day after day, as my city fades
And is swallowed by his sea
 She is boundless
Even breaking on the beach

 Every alchemist
 Knows fusion and fission
 Can unify or drive a force to split

He has been possessed to drink of the spices
 From the east by his liquid mistress
Which then pushed me into the lair of uranium
She divides time between greed and his twin, Tyranny

 Day after day cities are betrayed
And the earthly sons lay their blades
And she is boundless
But by then she has been frayed

 As the night gives way
To Nautical dawn
I can see I must activate
 The force of which I am made


To Discuss if this interests you:  This song has been introduced because of its coded alchemical lyrics
