A Diadem of Dead Stars
post 'em
The love we made
In between pissing
And even as we sail
This boat is listing
We've weathered storms
Without even thinking
But even as we speak
This ship is sinking
Our die was cast in better days
But the compass points are all erased
And so we're forced to drift for days
Looks like this ship is lost again
O darkness, if in thy arms I could rest for awhile
And with these earthly eyes see thy dim smile
Maid of twilight, lass of duskfall, hang the moon on the sky's arch
Soothe the weight of a darkling day, croon me into the slumber
Rock in the birch's lap
Swing in the manor of wind
Lay down your weary head
And let the blue stars darken
You hold the spade to turn new soil
For the coming grace, you hold the plans
No hands but our hands will lead our children
All that will feed you is a fierce prayer, is a fierce prayer, saying
I am not hearing if you are not naming it
I am not stopping if you are not changing it
Here are my hands, let's see what they're making
In the morning
In the rise-up
There's a bridge from all that's been
In the dawning
The vines are pushing through the pavement
We were born of burning hearts
We are tearing off the reins
From the ground up we will build it, from the clouds above we'll rain it, from the crowd up we will raise it
From the ground up
This is the furthest I will go.
Never the same again.
The vile path calling me,
the day I ran from life again.
If I win this one time,
it will still be the end of me.
My belief that nothing ends well.
This is the end for me.
A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
It's there that my heart is calling
All for the love of you
A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home
