The fire is rising
Up to the air
The sea is crying
For earth to care
The light is dawning
The shadow is drowning
Deeper in the tale we go

Spiders are crawling
While snakes are nesting
Dolphins are calling
Out into time
The bull is rising
The ram is climbing
The chimes are ringing the hour of life

Maidens are falling
Men are drawing
Pistols and knives
To protect the weak and wise
Extraterrestrials
Beaming up
Millions of forgotten lively livestock

The ink is spilling
The drink is filling
And full of good cheer
Questions are daunting
Answers aren’t calling
I look at my compass
To choose which way I veer

The blood is haunting
The badge is stalking
Tying together
The loosest of threads
Mischief and madness
Serenity and sadness
Deadly arrows
Rest in my quiver

Some see me trembling
Some see me plotting
Some see me lost and forever alone
I know I’m waiting
Patiently waiting
For a day
When I will know no fear

Smoke from the candle
A painting above the mantle
Snapshots of so many yesteryears
Whiskey on ice
Doubles are nice
But then again
So are shotguns
And one man stands

Music is magic
Classically tragic
Is the modern song
Tune in to nature
She is the maker
Of drums and Harps
She is the Source
Of where all wisdom starts

Time is a man
Spinning his wheels
Rubber burnouts
And Christmas trees
Slowly they circle
Like heaven above
Quickly we descent
Into forgotten love

Always the face
That’s never the same
And yet
You know you’ve seen it before
Never the place
Never the time
Everyone has their reasons
And God knows I have mine
Keeping the giver
Accepting a sliver
Of a dangerous heart
That stabs at old wounds
Its about give and take
Or in this case give and rape
Nobody knows anything
Except what they’re told

It starts with a glance
And ends with a lance
Thrusting its way into the tender flesh
Sparks fly
Lighting a fire inside
That burns deep within the loins
It has begun
The siren has sung
And all that’s left
Is to go in for the kill
Just a slice of death
Held within a breath
Waiting to go
Way down below
Down to the place
Where we all go

It’s like dark in the day
And light in the night
Scrambled brains
And human remains
Quick to the ship
Quick to the sword
Slow to give up
And slow to learn
Days have past
But the future will last
And it will be forever so
I declare I will not
Go quietly so
Instead I will rock
Into the goodnight
With my battle axe blasting power chords and melodies fair
Until I disappear into the ether
Taken by the reaper
To where I shall reappear
Just like I did here
In a certain spring
I may live like a peasant
But I will forever feel like a king
Singing the lullaby
Of a thousand dreams
