Some say a place in the forest
Appears to brave hearts who seek
An audience with bright spirits
who guard dark gates to the deep
They ask travelers questions three:
What's your pride, your shame, and your dream?
The true are then allowed entrance
To a hidden world in between:
To ride the ribbon of moonlight
To dance in deserts of dreams
To eat sweet fruits of the truth
To drink deep from life's silver stream
All while the Watchers are singing:
"Ahhh!"
We found the place in the forest,
Patient a vigil kept we.
Terrors they tested our mettle,
Snakes coiled around our bare feet.
The giant angels appeared through
Rips in our paper-thin air.
They made a circle around us
They posed our hearts to the dare:
To ride the ribbon of moonlight
To dance in deserts of dreams
To eat sweet fruits of the truth
To drink deep from life's silver stream
All while the Watchers were singing:
"Ahhh!"
Our hearts were weighed 'gainst a feather
Plucked from a black angel's wing
We were allowed to enter
A world of impossible things....
We rode the ribbon of moonlight
We danced in deserts of dreams
We ate sweet fruits of the truth
We drank deep from life's silver stream.
All while the Watchers are singing:
"Ahhh!"

Who by Fire

Who by fire, who by water,
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Who by very slow decay,
And who shall I say is calling?
Who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
And who by avalanche, who by powder,
Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
And who shall I say is calling?
Who by brave assent, who by accident,
Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
Who in mortal chains, who in power,
And who, who shall I say is calling?
Who by fire, who by water,
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Who by very very slow decay,
And who, who shall I say (who there?) is calling? Hello?

Poseidon Comes

(Come in closer, towards our future)
As I sat by the door,
I wished those footsteps were yours
I'm so sad and I'm cold,
And I'm longing to hold
You again.
Don't pretend,
It's not right,
We're not meant
To leave things this way.
Please come home
Let's make amends
You're my only one.
You were always my only one.

Duality

You've been wronged a more sorrowful song
Than I could ever possibly sing,
But you felt the good in the unsaid words
You don't need to speak.
(Meet me by the moon's lake
In the hour of four
And I'll teach you things you never learned
You never learned before.)
I learned him in the ways of the world
In the way of a woman, and of heaven and hell,
And I worked to undo the chains
That wrapped around that heart of pain.
By the dawn we lovers,
By the gods we were sworn,
By the heavens that hold angels:
We will be as one.
Your idols made of invisible lore:
They bleed more and lie more and cry more and break more than
You ever could before.
Our prayers wrapped
In the cloak of a night,
Through dark eerie forests,
To the dawn's clean light;
And we found the ground beneath our feet
Was less real than a world of dreams
As the sky is just a color
As the earth a clay form
As the waters swirl'd around us:
We are all as one.

Death Dreams
03:03
|

Me and you, we're all of us under a spell
We know too well.
Though some of us choose to not tell and
Live in a private hell.
Forsake your laws, your anger, your flaws,
You're worth more than you know.
And when you choose to let go,
You will be reborn.
So I'll shed the skin too small to pretend
It fits me anymore
And I'll rise above the confines of love
Death dreams can't be ignored.
