Silent Planet - Depths II Lyrics
All the world was a dream I couldn't shake- in a midnight reverie of which I'll never wake -That started mundane enoughWith an incessant tapping on the windowpaneSeparating me from the storm.Where inside I sat, me the loathsome fool,With my head *****ed sideways in confusionAs my looking glass became a two-way mirrorAnd you can watch me hideFrom everything on this living sphere.But don't you dare darken my doorstep, stranger- never a step more. No, no, Nevermore!You see, I have this reoccurring dreamWhere we snuck past scores of slumbering guardsAnd fixed that rustic iron key to that lock to set you free."I would bring you liberty!"Where in reality I'm a coward.I'm collateral matter swayed by banalities of time and space.I'm a name without a face.My trepidation reached threshold and my terror turned to madness- when I awoke I was swinging at shrouded silhouettesAnd stumbled out the doorWhere my anger was extinguished by this downpour.Compelled, void of volition,My steps propelled through this chronic storm,Where there in the clearing- throughout the gaps in the trees -Dark smoke flickered from fire illuminating my unease.Like clockwork, seven sisters turned together in a circle,Autonomy abandoned,They moved singular and perpetualAround a dark blue flame where I heard you call my name:"I am the fire that is never quenched,And I am the river that will not run dry."When I slept in that garden,Lord did you see me as I was dreaming?This is the end of everything.We'll lose our divisions and forget our names:The precipice of eternity.I caught fire,I caught fire,I caught fireAnd you'll watch me burn.
