nothing of a man was he
his true face of sleep a deception
fell through all the way to the bottom
learned to hold
why define ourselves by misguiding light?
how can we receive the static in their eyes
each blink of light an accuser
each unlit shape an assassin
crawled the outer rim
with his back exposed
the shadows unending
fought off the stares
nullify the ego, stay right back
stay right back
how can we receive
the static?
fear that strangles spirit
denial speaks the truth
fear that strangles spirit
crushes me and you
wicked are the senses, wicked are the words
give me the static
again we vowed not to hold sacred
but to damn that hollow gaze
unsteady on these shorelines
mute to an unthought scream
another word fell silent
like the static in their eyes
against all fleeing logic
we let our minds go
blank

I fly on my voyage through this moonlit landscape
of re-emerged figments of imagination
I am aroused in sleep....aroused in sleep
Far beyond the gate which reflects in the closed eye
reveal that a dreamscape lies therein
A yearning for a world
where the everlost find their peace
In the pearly gates of dawn
on the astral feed of minds
- envenomed to the bone
forever cleansed from all called wrath
as slumber sneaks upon
and steals the thought of man
all ridden from inner aggression...
A voyage beyond this world
In this paralell to real life
- access lies in dreams
Unveil hidden secrets in our sleep
- the key to what's beyond
In the wake of man we see
essential dreams unfulfilled
Enhance the value of life
engraved words on the page of man
In the presence of the moon
an owl awakes and calls a name
tells a story of a world
accessable only at night...
"This ain't no dream..."
Legend tells of a yesterworld
a dreamscape of strange light
"It's your dream coming true"
Transcendance of the soul
All by the sign of the moon
I am eaten away in mouthfuls by flames
that burn in the errors of our ways
In a night when the sky floats blue
as touquoise, and the stars of silver are twinkling
in their outmost pride
Now from dimensions fallen from the skies
- like the flow of a stream
From my sleep I continue onward
- sleep is just a shape of destiny
Weak sunlight of dawns to come,
dancing swiftly in the shadows
Shimmering, shining in a landscape of dreams
...landscape of my dreams
Dim reflections of the pale
a shade of grey in mind
In the presence of the moon
an owl awakes and calls a name
tells a story of a world
accessable only at night...
"It's your reality..."
Legend tells of a yesterworld
a dreamscape of strange light
"It's much more than a dream"
Transcendance of the soul
All by the sign of the moon
Soon these worlds will be one
and mankind feasts on the sights of it all
I yearn for things to come
Still wrapped in the thrall of slumber
as the mist slippes away to reveal...
And the wind tears a scream from my lips
- I am there....
In the dreamscape I adore
(a moonclad reflection)
stay right back
how can we receive
the static?
we let our minds go
blank....
I fucking loved those verses. They're so jaded.. it's like sensory deprivation.
