What's on fire? The mountain
Dreadful dream of night at noon where the mind
Opens its torrential mouth
And discovers depths of red for the first time
We ascend Vesuvius, but while the others walk
I suffer in my palanquin and half-attend their talk
There's no ravine my mind can't fathom, but no beauty it creates
I change my name but cannot change my place
In the life of the man who's a synonym for passion
In the waves of stone and streams of flame, repulsion and attraction,
In the year without a summer
In the splendour and the thunder
And in me
He finds clarity
My iridescent, everlasting fire,
I promise with my eyes,
Will dry your tears till your cheeks burn
If he should tire, he will find me on his pillow
If she should tire, I will take my turn
One among the wildest hearts, two degrees from danger,
My quiet life I kicked off with disgust
But now my reputation bites in the smirk of every stranger
A footnote of shamelessness and lust
In the life of the man who's a synonym for passion
In the waves of stone and streams of flame, repulsion and attraction,
In the year without a summer
In the splendour and the thunder
And in me
With clarity, I see
In the dark of Tambora
I should die, you say "ah, voila"
A gaze as pitiless as history
Consigns me to pitiable infamy
The daughter of a second wife and sister of another
Spoke Russian and read Pushkin and never was a mother
In the dark of Tambora
In the eye of the storm of my unreserved pretension
In the height of his scorn, denial and condescension
I reflect, I refract
Some haunted hearts saw shooting stars stars in me
He finds clarity
In the life of the man who's a synonym for passion
In the waves of stone and streams of flame, repulsion and attraction,
In the year without a summer
In the splendour and the thunder
And in me
He finds clarity
