Willow Sways
05:41
|

The water lures me to it’s edge
Draws me closer with her depth
The stillness deafening
Beneath the blue a chasm deep
What lies under waits for sleep
To take its hold
Loveless eyes of blue
Weather storms of truth
And theres no cold wave retreating
Or a second chance
to gasp for air
Like Ophelia’s embrace
The weeping willow sways
The daisies float in my right hand
A glass like surface mirrored back
A ripple trembling
a flashback
Falling into the abyss
Like Ophelia’s embrace
The weeping willow sways
The daisies float in my right hand
Lost in currents dark and slow
She strips away all innocence
What good am I on this night
The temptress waiting to take me whole
Will I succumb to all her gloom
While flowers beckon in full bloom.
Along the riverbanks
A phantom down the river black
Murmuring ballads of sweet madness
Softly to the evening breeze
Loveless eyes of blue
Weather storms of truth
And theres no cold wave retreating
Or a second chance
to gasp for air
To gasp for air
To gasp for air
To gasp for air

This Time Around
04:21

Breathe in a recitation
Exhale the fire below
Let go the force beneath the surface
Blood on stone
Dance across the grave in wonder
Release life’s thread
The fates upon you
Snipping at your heels
Their scissors glare
The madness in your likeness
Will varnish in the greying
Slumbers of midnight
Move toward the flame before you
Come forth and bathe in light
Release the pressure forming under
Skin so ripe
The madness in your likeness
Will varnish in the greying
Slumbers of midnight
They fall before you scattered pieces
Of what once was
Waves of blood that course, beckoning
A pressing recollection, a flashing blade
Won’t feel hesitation
This time around

Chasing Down the Sun
04:38
|

My love is drifting down a highway
An apparition on a thin white line
With a heart thats full of empty
A vessel once was known as mine
The longing calling
As clouds are forming
On the forlorn horizon
Where the old gods touched the sky
They left behind a serpent
Chasing down the sun
This mortal coil has all but washed away
On a trail with no end
A night without day
A melody echoes
From beyond
Beckoning ….. i’m overcome
The roads become a constant
The faster I drive the less is real
Burning the wheels underneath me
For its the only path I feel
The longing calling
As clouds are forming
On the forlorn horizon
Where the old gods touched the sky
They left behind a serpent
Chasing down the sun
This mortal coil has all but washed away
On a trail with no end
A night without day
A melody echoes
From beyond
I’ll sing the melody to guide you home
Hoping the sun wont rise
The tender sweet embrace
The memory that holds me close and breaks my will
Oh the Moon has come
The stars they call
They’re burning bright
Lay beside me
(We’ll burn like fire)
Then I’ll be gone

The Road Ahead
05:30
|

Feel the rise of the road winding up
Stagger forward nothing holding back
Glancing down the way, letting go
Welcome the heat rising below
Succumb to the circling within the air that flows
Roll onward toward the space
Where the earth and sky’s veil is thin
Three steps always leading
Back to the start
The prop that held life up
Snapped apart
Feel the rise of road winding up
Letting go
The moon is wasted high
Call it down
The misty morning dawning
Feel it now
Three steps taken leading
Back to the warmth
In remission on a never ending loop
The shadows threaten every inch they crawl
The road ahead alluring with it’s bend
The distance longing calling aching with the wind
The heart’s of lovers left in scorn
Creeping, crawling back again
Lure me from this place
Gaze upon a starless night
And hunger for the light

A Glimpse of Being
04:30
|
|||
Flashing colors pass through windowpane
The rain is falling
Softly sings the night
Droplets gather flowing into streams
Yearning for the rivers wild
Rolling down a way so familiar
Slowly journey back into the deep
We lost our way
Oh our struggle has been in vain
Where nothing is, but a mask it seems
And we the ghostly form beneath
Stepping out into the misty air
The sounds of laughter ringing in the night
The many voices bursting into song
Leaving a lone one wanting to belong
We lost our way
All our struggle has been in vain
Where nothing is, but a mask it seems
And we the ghostly form beneath
Grasping at rays that dim
The sky it pours, the wind it howls
Come wash away the twisted blue
Of darkened hours
In pooled reflections came a sign of life
A glimpse of being
A hope for kindness this time
And in the moment bathed in light there was
A sign of mercy
A neon vision circling
It will not fade lightly
There is no forgetting
The feeling this time round
It will not go quietly
The melody remains

The Final Bow
05:04
|
|||
To wonder what its like to feel
To take the chance to know whats real
Lift the veil see clarity
An effigy of past reality
Smoldering in flames it all burns down
An agonizing minute slowly lingers on
It’s lost
The senses stop
In cradled slumber under moon
The nightingale’s lone lullaby will croon
The emptiness of promise gone
A dreadful inclination that the war is now
All, but lost
The senses stop
The lights wane beyond the ridge
The endless sky grows dim
Apprehension settles in
Sullen moment fading, grim
Yearning for sunlight
The darker it goes
Then yearning for starlight
To wonder what its like to feel
To ride the wind to live for steel
Parading fearlessly your solemn vow
Give up the ghost come take the final bow
Smoldering in flame it al burns down
The emptiness of promise gone
The lights wane beyond the ridge
The endless sky grows dim
Apprehension settles in
Sullen moment fading, grim
Fading fast, all is longing
Fading fast, all is gone
Fading fast, all returns
