Mrs Caesar Lyrics & Tabs by James Harker
Mrs Caesar
guitar chords lyrics
I catch you in the wine cup
Like the moon upon the water
Your faint reflection
My frail perception
Until today
And the more I gaze at her
I see the Devil's daughter
While in the corner
Of the trattoria
He stands
He watches
As our hands entwine
And her lips meet mine
While the taste of blood
Washes through my mind.
And her lips meet mine
While the taste of blood
Washes through my mind.
What have I done, what have I done
Mrs Caesar?
I've torn our empire limb from limb
Just to please her
And this honeyed taste of love
Embittered with his blood.
The Rubicon flows red tonight
Like the water when I bathe
And as she feels me
The scarlet steals me
From the bed
And as I pace the kitchen floor
He whispers at the door
And crowds the silence
With raging violence
Like a hum
A heartbeat
Like a swarm of bees
Or the crash of seas
While the weight of blood
Brings me to my knees.
What have I done, what have I done
Mrs Caesar?
I've paid the life that ran through him
To release her
And this honeyed scent of love
Embittered with his blood
While feather crests of red
Lie in copper-coloured mud.
And I become a knight
Who knows no royalty
And for the sake of love
I know no loyalty.
