Salome Songtext
von Ana Silvera

"Then," said the king
"Any earthly thing
To see you dancing?"
How could I stop
Those words from rising
Like flames on my tongue?
Love not holy ones
If God himself could not


There′s a man
There's a man
And he will not love me
Like all the others long to
So bring me his head
Upon a silver platter
With his eyes still wide
He′ll watch me dancing
And I'll be dancing for him

At night I dream
He pours cool water
Into my mouth
The veil's turned water
And he cries for me

There′s a man
There was a man
And he was the only
One I ever wanted
So bring me to bed
And then plop my head
For who will pray
For my soul not to rise?
