An Odyssey

There lived beyond a thousand years

A land that we forgot

A land that meets the lores unheard

That’re no more to be taught

 

It shimmered among the stars at night

With light, it never came

And stayed so near yet out of reach

I’m never to be the same

 

Burning tonight, fire don’t chase away the darkness

Singing tonight, desire, eros is struck again

Long live the panegyric, overlain in thorns

Far follow the north star, true the sky till morn

Ride over the tides, the sail not slack

The winds are great

Disdain all treasure that glitters and gleams

Distrust’s like a dead weight

 

Blood rushed through swords that glittered and gleamed

A violent siren’s call

The tides crashed high, the sails were torn

Wind pray carry them all

 

Burning tonight, fire don’t chase away the darkness

Singing tonight, desire, eros is struck again

Long live the panegyric, overlain in thorns

Far follow the north star, true the sky till morn

The taste of salt, sugar-stiff limbs

Empty graves lay ‘lone

Trees distort and break and weep

Of others atone

 

Jaggedly pierce my skin so deep

Over soft leather lay

And ride past the sea with love

To reach the land, I pray

 

Burning tonight, fire don’t chase away the darkness

Singing tonight, desire, eros is struck again

Long live the panegyric, overlain in thorns

Far follow the north star, true the sky till morn

I reach and there beyond the gate

Stand mountains big and strong

With creatures hiding among flowers

And bird’s eternal songs

 

Vines of ruby lay in fissures

Colours roam wanderlust

And flow down streams like glass

That heal and never cuts

 

Burning tonight, fire don’t chase away the darkness

Singing tonight, desire, eros is struck again

Long live the panegyric, overlain in thorns

Far follow the north star, true the sky till morn

I’ve burned yesterday, the world can glow brightly again

Singing a song, the words from laughter are gained

Remembrance renewed, laying among petals so soft

The stars glitter and gleam; finally, the sun’s aloft

There lived beyond a million years

A land that we forgot

A land that meets the lores unheard

That’re no more to be taught
