we Woke atop the swaying Mast
and i let the Taste of Slumber last
and i Swallowed hard
as i watched You go 
through the Screams and Yells
of my mates Below

and i was on my Way
through the Blue unknown
i was on my Way -- all Alone

when you're just a few Sleeps away
from Questing glory
when you're just a few Sleeps astray
forging your Story
wayward bound

and the Drum and the Pull 
when you know She's gone ... 
with the Sun

the ghosts of Tears
upon your face
will boast of Fears
we gave away 
...
and though i Sail with You ashore
dont forget of our Tale
and the Oath that i swore
dont forget of our Tale
and the Oath that i swore

'cause i know to Hunger for Love
like some orphaned Runaway 
...

Guardians Before Me

En Passant

Dark [Luke Sital-Singh Cover]

and so we ll Wander
the Whirlwind, the Hideaway
through thickened Thunder
the flash of Light giveaway

the Strobe of Hunger
will serve us its Shadow play
and so we ll Wander
Vanguarding the break of Day

and then we ll Feel our Moans
within our very Bones
and then we ll Feel our Moans
within our very Bones

and though the Compass
will Cast us to far-aways
they ll try to Catch us
and name us their Runaways

and so we ll Wander
the Whirlwind, the Hideaway
through thickened Thunder
the flash of Light giveaway

and then we ll Feel our Moans
within our very Bones
and then we ll Feel our Moans
within our very Bones

until 
the Skies from which she Lay
distill 
the Molten fog of Day 
then we ll
unmuffle our Delay to breakaway 
 ...

we ll call it Moulting 
just to sing again 


Molten

Watching the Change

as my knees Plow into the Snow
'round your waist my Arms know to go
and every Step along the Way might betray
how every Laugh we took shook the Globe gray

the silver Slivers in your Hair
hold me Static, i ll never be the first to Break our Stare
and as the Trees divide the Breeze
interweaving, our Breaths begin to Freeze (what a tease)

and it Snows down like Static
we 'll slow Down to look Up 
and we ll know now Ecstatic
that its Warm under the Snow

so take us Home now with heavy Arms
and Pendulums above our Heads
the Lullaby of the Midnight charm
will Rock us down to Bed
...

my lips Pulse at the sight of You
pleading Please to put the Past to shame
i d exclaim, "i dont Know but i ve been Told,
'Hoist the Colours high, 
try to Fall until you Float,
and Heavenly we ll Lie' " 

we'll be Lost in Static 
from the Quiet within...  


Static

i assume the Shape of things unKnown
as the Dusk falls heavy upon the Prone
shadows Peel their Fingers off the harsh Brick wall
and i Trust
that i Must
be Somewhere near a Brawl

cut a Heartstring, break a Choice
hear the Ash unFurl itself on a Voice
moistened Eyes i just won’t Wear
as i Sit
and Bury 
my own Knuckles in my Hair

so Bellow Hell out at me 
so i can Yell until We’re free
so Bellow Hell out at me
...

so Wield your Heart and Squeeze my Soul nevermore
‘cause i’ve been Here some time Before, Times before
and every time that i Thought that i’d Lost
i Found the Sound of redemption in the Cost 

and you Flirt with Shadows stretched by Streetlight
never Knowing that the amber Glow …


unKnown

chasing Water with Wine,
watching Stars start to Align
a Love-Stuck Heart will dutifully, clandestinely
mix into any Lost-Treasured Eyes

you've Coloured every Thought;
sometimes, somethings are Bound to get caught...
playin' Hide & Seek 
through Covers, 
with no Need to Speak...

Still the Mind, Will the Heart,
lovers Flesh in & out of the Part
in turn, i See the world Black & Blue,
but my Thinkings won't keep without You

when tulips Taste like roses,
never Fear, for the eerie Exposes...
fill the Void between 
my Heart & Hands,
Encircled in a Dream...           

O Slanted smile i Hang upon these Ears of mine
O don't Betray how i Dress-up this Heart...

'cause i Want and i fear any Pain
And i want so i Fear any pain
...
