==Lyrics==
     The day they covered us in the dirt
     like stars in the ground 
     that will grow into dead flowers
     The day they covered us in the dirt
     like stars in the ground 
     that will grow into dead flowers
     
     Your body's on me 
     like sleepless spiders.
     Your touch is so empty 
     Your touch is so empty
     
     Your body's on me like
     sleepless spiders.
     Your touch is so empty 
     Your touch is so empty
     Your touch is so empty 
     Your touch is so empty
     
     I've been running 
     from the bloodless 
     for fear of exile
     for all of my sorceries 
     that shun the light
     shun the light
     I've been running 
     from the bloodless 
     for fear of exile
     for all of my sorceries 
     that shun the light
     shun the light
     
     The day they covered us in the dirt
     like stars in the ground 
     that will grow into dead flowers
     The day they covered us in the dirt
     like stars in the ground 
     that will grow into dead flowers
     
     I've been running 
     from the bloodless 
     for fear of exile
     for all of my sorceries 
     that shun the light
     shun the light
     I've been running 
     from the bloodless 
     for fear of exile
     for all of my sorceries 
     that shun the light
     shun the light
     light
     light
     light
     light

The following year, the [[Les Fleurs du Mal]] exhibition opened in Moscow, Russia.
