Twisted east, south, northWith the wind that rippled his hairIce stare constant, laughingBut the joy had goneSnuffed out by the dawnThe rope had torn his fleshAnd broke his neckAnd left him dancing on the airIn the Hanging GardensDancing with the dead So peaceful thereBranded as a thiefThey stole his nameThey stole his faceGone without a traceThey killed his dignityAnd squeezed him dryCries for mercy lost on judgesWith no ears, no heartsLooking smart in their black caps In the Hanging Gardens.SongtexteLove notes and carnationsFading, slowly dyingLying at his feetHer sweet aroma lingered on the airShe stood and staredShe was numb nowShe'd cried so much it had no meaningSo much salt and water flowing freelyThrough the hanging gardens.Blow gently, blow gentlyDressed in virgin's whiteShe masked her eyes with cold surpriseHe cursed her nameThe pain was creeping swiftlyTwisted her insideShe retched and reached out for a handShe landed on her face disgracedNo place for fainting queensIn the hanging gardensA place for me, a place for you Aus Songtexte Mania
