Thirst Snake lyrics

Tiamat released their latest album called "Amanethes" earlier this year (in April), but I still am not able to find lyrics to the bonus track, "Thirst Snake", on the internet.

If you want lyrics to any other song except "Thirst Snake", use Google or just go here.

Perhaps I did not search thoroughly enough, though I believe I did. Anyway, I tried to listen to the song and write down what I understand the words said are. After about six or seven consecutive auditions, I seem to have reached the end of my words-distinguishing abilities.

The lyrics for "Thirst Snake" are (as heard by me):

"Your hands are my cradle, your hair is the heavenly abode
My longing for touching your skin,
There's a heavy load.
I wanna bathe you, my love, in broad heavens of divine light
A precious angel you are of the bodies of celestial might
Your eyes lighting up the skies like the chariots of fire
Let me take you there, tonight,
Take you higher and higher...

Without you it's all denied
Your poison burns like fire
My eyes are closed
And all I see is you
Is you...

Until the daylight spreads its hope
And does once again revive
(And may) the clouds of the night
Let me stay in your path for a while.

Without you it's all denied
Your poison burns like fire
My eyes are closed
And all I see is you
Is you...

I want you, [x2]
I don't wanna let you go away.
{Repeat x 2}

Oh,
I want you, [x2]
I don't wanna let you go away

From me...
Never gonna let you go..."

I must say, the line in which he says "(And may) the clouds of the night" makes me mad, I think I've listened to it about 15 times now and I still can't make out what's between the parentheses (It's at 3:17 - give it a go for yourself). I keep hearing something like "Nemey" or "Eney" ...

If you notice any mistakes, or want to add something, feel free to do so either by email or by comment.

Your arms are my cradle, your hair is the heavenly abode
My longing for touching your skin bears a heavy load
I wanna bathe you my love in broad heavens of divine light
A precious angel you are of the bodies of celestial might

Your eyes are lighting up the skies like the chariots of fire
Let me take you there tonight, take you higher and higher

Without you it's all dim and dire
Your poison burns like fire
My eyes are closed and all I see is you

Until the daylight spreads its horror and us once again reviles
May the gods of the night let me stay in your heart for a while

Without you it's all dim and dire
Your poison burns like fire
My eyes are closed and all I see is you

I want you, I want you
I don't wanna let you go away
