A stranger moment
The wind has wrenched all hands away
And ripped and torn the sail
But
the sea grows somewhat calmer
As storms ply against the hull
Still I
hope that time has something left
To show that I was here
Before sinking
into oceans
Of blurred forgotten years
My intention is a stranger
moment
Apart from the world we share
And all of our enchanted
musings
Fell lost between the here
And the there
The lights upon
the farthest plain
Ascending with the storms
Where children and dreamers
separate
And a gulf within us forms
And I hope when they replay the
verse
Our tongues fell deep to speak
The words are less confusing
And
the rhythm not so weak
But my intention is a stranger moment
Apart
from the world we share
And all our hopes of happiness
Survive, between
the here
And the there
After All
Hear the voice of the unremembered heart
Hear the silence between each
word
Black and white divided grays that cut between us
Filled with broken
shards of promised days
I'm standing far ahead
Always looking
backwards
I'm standing far behind
With eyes fixed on
tomorrow
Breathe in deep, and open your heart again
The fire burns
where the embers fall
So love, in spite of the pain you feel
For the lives
we live - follow after all
Where are the artists and the
prophets?
Lost below the wheels of this machine..
Because money drives the
vanity of human culture
But emotion fuels our hope and feeds our
dreams
They dance upon the water
They dance upon the fire
They
dance upon the stony ground
With palms turned to the sky
Cassandra
Watching backwards as life like pictures
Stinging thoughts, born with
phantoms
We danced above a world forgotten
Moments cherished...even
now
A train-wrecked heart loves fairy tales
Singing from a gaping
wound
However time has left unsettled
My memories play out of
tune
You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you
break
You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you try
And she
had Audry Hepburn's smile
With deeper sadder eyes
The only thing she
said
No one hears Cassandra cry
Because the earth is standing still
And
the truth becomes a lie
A choice profound is bittersweet
No one hears
Cassandra cry
A heartfelt sorrow I believe
Offered this for passion's
crime
A crippled satellite trapped in orbit
My memories play out of
time
You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you
break
You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you ry...
The
listless price of my descension
Where emptiness has pulled me
down
Cascading from my divagation
Below the frozen winter
skies
Pythonic sadness unreleased
As serpents rigid in the cold
Waiting
for the warmth of Sunday
Before the cruelty of growing old
Are you
listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening now?
Like Orpheus with
hope intangled
Your path was mapped about your feet
Leading backwards into
forgiveness
Or forward to a foold retreat
Citadel
Languid waves of desperation
Fall before the rains
A vanguard to
approaching war
Is borne upon the sea
The icy breath of cyclones
bent
On waging our destruction
Drills hard against the hearts of
heroes
Called here to defend
I see storms on the horizon
I see the
tempest at the gates
I see storms on the horizon
And a citadel
alone
Clinging brave defying fate
And I will stand here at the gates to
face the onslaught fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged
by tyrants' greed - (tyranny)
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall
save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
Sudden silence - I
realize
Breaking teardrops in the rain
With every breathing moment
The
pillars are sustained
Waking hands attached to nothing
Tightly clutching
close
Each sleeping vision speaks unheard
And heaven only knows (exactly
why)
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow
landed true
Down upon your heel...
This Troy
She will not fall
again
This Troy
She will not fall
East
Go go east
Go go east
Go
Too many the questions
Where answers
are few
The path driving tangled
Loves destiny's truth
With hunger
unwilling
A passage to choose--
The trees growing ripe
With forbidden
fruit
Dance in the garden
Sing with the snakes
Inviting free
will,
To repeat his mistakes
With hunger unwilling
What will you
do
The trees are ripe
With forbidden fruit
Live, love, be,
believe
Go go east
Go go east of Eden
Rising in the eastern
sky
The sun god dances light divine
Rising in the eastern sky
The
western banks below his eye
Live, love, be,
believe
Stop..
Go..
(East of Eden)
With hunger
unwilling
A passage to choose
The trees are ripe
With forbidden
fruit
Live, love, be, believe
Flames
Sleeping moments giving birth
To a world of my own invention
Doubt is a
cast, and what's real
Mixes with imatination
My imatination
Each
vision, each word
Like a message in a bottle
The unreal has given
birth
To the titans of my inner battles
Angel, burning away
Cutting
against the heartless unforgiven
Anger, blacken my dream
A phoenix in
flame, returning in redemption
Angel, burning away
Cutting against the
heartless unforgiven
Anger, blacken my dream
I can see this angel is
me
And I am in flames
The wind is breaking hard
Flowing with the void
of fire
The light it burns
Eyes glow, holding my soul
The fallen horde
is hunting seraph
Wisdom, Prometheus knows
A torch is but a tool for
heroes
We stand to face the hatred
Amassing on our borders
Love And Hatred
Can you feel the breath of the observer,
Can you hear the quanta calling
back?
The argumental motivation,
Implore my distant muse to
act.
Sentiment spent on emotions,
Derived from our eternal spark,
All
beyond our comprehension,
Watching protons in the dark.
All the love
and all the hatred,
Split from our desire to be.
All the love and all the
hatred,
Leading to hostilities.
All the saints and all the
prophets,
All the secrets that you keep,
Exist with one intriguing
question,
Tell me dearest - who are we?
Can you hear the gears of
evolution,
Grinding for divinity,
Can you hear the voices of
creation,
And the science sprawling from the seas.
Sentiment spent on
emotions,
Derived from our eternal spark,
All beyond our
comprehension,
Watching protons in the dark.
All the love and all the
hatred,
Lovers searching for the seed,
That piece of existential
knowing,
That gives tomorrow wings to dream.
All the broken-hearted
angels,
Living in the ether seams,
All the love and all the
hatred,
Tell me dearest - who are we?
The Sentiment Inside
Rewind - I only want to listen to you sleep
Do you dream of places close
to me?
I don't know how to make this right
I never thought I'd ever breath
so tight
Confusing, the issues underneath
I don't know how to find this
place
locked in a box inside a cage far away
Singing songs for rainy
days
And I want to tell you
But words so clumsy are not my friends
They
starve these thoughts when they begin
And I still need you to know
But my
lips are tightly holding back
The sentiment inside is lying
trapped
Higher, higher than the skies above
And deeper than the cells
within
I love you more than these
And I love you more than they
Three
splinters hide below this shell
Where yesterday provided me this hell
And
left me, lifeless, empty
And you're asking for more than I can give
But it
takes so much air for us to live
Completely, I understate my haunted
dreams
I really don't want to sleep just yet -
I think about this...as I
lie in bed
Let me forget, the color of my death
I know it's not fair to
live this way
Still I've said about as much as I can say
And I would, take
it all back if I could...
Untrue
My eyes resign dissolving vision
To vividness of sense and
sequence
Betrayed by certain circumstances
Outside the world I've
known
How cold and cut bewildered silence
Left me for a newer
face
While sadness dances gracefully
In this forgotten
place
Regardless of the introspection
I found myself in your
reflection
I guess it's all too easy now
To look the other
way
Saving graces, trading places
Asking for a sense of hope
But
the line to heaven's ringing busy
And I walk this path alone
What kind
of sick games were we playing?
No rules, no constitution
No sympathy for
one another
And nowhere left to go
Regardless of the
introspection
I see myself in your reflection
I guess it makes it
easier
To turn your eyes away
And I'm not asking you to lie and tell
me
That you love me still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's
untrue)
So I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me
too
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
Saving
secrets unembellished
Left without revision
Sacrosanct and
underground
Why do I need you so?
(Why do I need you so?)
And
sentiment was none-too-careful
Delivering the means
To break the balance
of perfection
And eliminate these dreams
Regardless of the
introspection
I see myself in your reflection
I guess it makes it
easier
To turn your eyes away
And I'm not asking you to lie and tell
me that
You love me still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's
untrue)
So I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me
too
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
So what do I
do?
What do I do?
I still love you..
Life is such a tangled
mess
With cruel lines dividing us
I don't want to be
On the other side
from you
And I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You love me
still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
So I'm not
asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me too
I know that it's
untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
Waiting To Leave
With watching eyes
You see dreams dissolving
Distant voices slipping
away
I have to go - I hear
The call of something deeper
A voice inside
of me
And tears return
Beneath the happy ending
Promised words that
scattered
In the cold
I have to leave, I hear
The call of something
higher
Something young becoming old
I can't stay here any
longer
Trapped here by the rain
I can't stay here any longer
Waiting
for this train
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm
waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I
will
Never leave here..
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for
the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On
the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to
try...
My sympathies,
Are wasted on regretting
Why not come with
me?
I have to go - I hear
The call of something stronger
And it's
pulling me away
I can't stay here any longer
Trapped here by the
rain
I can't stay here any longer
Waiting for this train
I'm
waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last
train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here..
But
I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for
somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's
really now or never
You know I have to try...
I've been running around
in circles
Without any direction
I've been searching hard to find
Who I
really am..
I've been running around in circles
Without any
direction
I've been lost here for so long
I've forgotten who I
am..
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for
the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave
here..
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last
train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the
line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
Winterborn
Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall
remember the silent and the brave
And promise me they will never see, the
fear within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
We will give strength to those
who still remain
So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs
of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's
remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That
children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate
(I've waited
all day in the pouring rain, but nobody came, no, nobody came)
And in the
fury of this darkest hour
We will be your light
You've asked me for my
sacrifice
And I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith is come
That I
have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winter
born
Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the
faces of the people you defend
(you defend)
And promise me, they will
never see the tears within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
Although we are
men, with mortal sins, angels never cry
So bury fear, for fate draws
near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest
souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A
better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid
our fate
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be your
light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born
Without
denying, a faith in God
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my
name
And I am Winter born
And in the fury of this darkest hour
I
will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winter born
And
in this moment..I will not run
It is my place to stand
We few shall carry
hope
Within our bloodied hands
(bloodied hands)
And in our Dying, we're
more alive-than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds
For I
am Winter born
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be the
light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born
Without
denying, a faith in man
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my
name
And I am Winter born
Within this moment now
I am for you,
though better men have failed
I will give my life for love
For I am Winter
born
And in my dying
I'm more alive, than I have ever been
I will make
this sacrifice
For I am Winter born
