"The Stories We Become"
Valhjim

Brigantia, Britannia, 45 BC 
Feasgair, at sundown

The young man stood before a big cauldron set on a flat stone a few yards from a bonfire. Amber flickers—“fire-dancers”—lept into the air, their flames flitting upward before vanishing into the darkening sky. The full moon shimmered on the dark liquid in the cauldron, its surface smooth and bright like a polished silver mirror. Drums echoed through the air in the circular enclosure where the young man, along with a gathering of Druids and priestess of the goddess Brigit stood. Earthworks encircled the space, glowing white and silvery beneath the moon’s beams, which poured over the limestone that covered them. 

	As the drumming subsided, a tall priestess dressed in a deep green gown began to intone—

Brigit, bright and radiant,
	We call upon thee in our need,
	Guide us with thy wisdom and strength
Grant us the vision to learn and heed
Thy will, that we may follow thy lead.

—from Between The Lines: The Stories We Become,"
by Jim Valero, 2025.

The Stories We Become

As The Shadows Dance

[Verse 1]
Can you hear the sirens hum?
Under towers made of steel and drum
Missiles sleeping in their case
While children trace the war god’s face
Neon lights disguise the threat
In quiet rooms, the deals are set

[Pre-Chorus]
Do we dare to cross that line?
Trade the fire for something kind?
Where silence speaks in loaded terms
And kindness is the first to burn

[Chorus]
Drones above, hearts below
Futures sold in afterglow
The world rewinds with fatal grace
We slow-dance in a warlord's place
Do we dare to cross that line?
Or let the trigger write the rhyme?

[Verse 2]
Rhythms mimic marching feet
Newsfeeds loop what none repeat
They raise the flag, we dim the light
And dream in shadows, out of sight
Sparks of peace beneath the dust
Left to rust, or left to trust?

[Chorus]
Drones above, hearts below
Futures sold in afterglow
The world rewinds with fatal grace
We slow-dance in a warlord's place
Do we dare to cross that line?
Or let the trigger write the rhyme?

[Verse 3]
What if the line was never real –
just shadows cast by power's wheel?
What if the noise, the flags, the flame,
were all just masks to dodge the blame?
We bury hope beneath the tech,
trade soft hands for coded wrecks.

[Verse 4/Outro]
Still, in the quiet, there's a glow,
a thread of peace we used to know.
No anthem loud, no marching pride –
just one more chance we brushed aside.
Do we dare to cross that line?
Or watch the end in perfect time?

Do We Dare To Cross That Line [Eli]

The turn of every tide
Right before my eyes
No longer compromise
Manifest desire

Im born on dirt on deprive
Ive lost my will to fight
Im taxed by their design
Sail off fuel by fire

you can come you can go you can save your soul
you will find no end of the rainbow
And im chasing a dream life
Im chasing a dream 

The turn of every tide
Right before my eyes
No longer compromise 
I'll manifest desire
and fly.... 

you can come you can go you can save your soul
you will the truth at the end of the road
you can come you can go you will find no end of the rainbow

The turn of every tide
Right before my eyes
No longer compromise
I'll manifest desire and Fly

Rain on the canals, lights distorted in fogged windows. Every street a memory that won't die, every breath a ghost. Amsterdam is not a place — it's a state of mind. A toxic refuge, a beauty that stuns, a wound that throbs under the skin. You've been there, even if you don't remember when.

Lyrics:

[Verse]
I board the night with a heavy stare
A one-way ticket to the misty air
The city's calling
Its whispers low
Through shadowed alleys
Where secrets grow

[Chorus]
Amsterdam
Your ghosts ignite
Beneath the bridges
A velvet night
The canals shimmer
A haunting tune
Under the watch of a blood-red moon

[Verse 2]
Cobblestones echo with tales untold
A foggy shroud
A story bold
Lanterns flicker
The past alive
In this dark dance
Shadows thrive

[Bridge]
The wind it howls
It sings my name
A foreign rhythm
A wicked game
I lose myself in your ancient haze
Through endless nights
Through twisted maze

[Chorus]
Amsterdam
Your ghosts ignite
Beneath the bridges
A velvet night
The canals shimmer
A haunting tune
Under the watch of a blood-red moon

[Verse 3]
I feel the pulse of your hidden core
A labyrinth heart I can't ignore
Through every turn
Your spirit feeds
On the dreams of those it needs
