For when the sun shines on your face.....For when the monsters come

We are.

We circle the corridors

We fade into the blackness

This web, our life

We keep spinning through the madness

Our eyes they are as black as onyx

Blind to your love of old

What we see are the ruins

Our gift from those of old

We hear the sigh of angels

Not from the voice of saints

But through the sinner's whisperings

Whose actions this world taints

We are clad in stark conviction

Yet our minds whisper douct

Do you practice what you preach?

Or just speak from the deep without?

Tiptoe around the truth

Oh what bliss, what joy delight

But we'll be singing you and I

By the gallows come midnight

We raise the cup high

And deep to the dregs we drink

Let us feel, let us heal

No, tonight we shall not think

We are not right, we are not wrong

You won't stop us singing our song

With these last words...fill the halls of your hearts

We are

We are

We just are

Eyewoke

Amidst fields of sky so blue they couldn’t be anymore

With a crown of sun in my hair curled so tight it had a life of its own

My shoulders strong like the bark of the trees which had seen my fathers and theirs before

In my mind a seed that only had newly been sown

Eyewoke

Broken and bled, my sky ripped from me

In its place a concrete shadow, big, bold and domineering

In the distance, a flicker of light, it was all I made myself to see

Shackled and torn, I awaited my reckoning

Eyewoke

In a light so warm, and yet so blinding

In a land of perfection, and beauty reborn

I basked in it, all these beings so outstanding. But alas!

They looked not like me, oh my shackles I had still worn

Eyewoke

Barefaced and blistered

My head shaven and shorn

Yet I smiled…for I was at last unfettered

And the seed in my mind was grown
