Nova to candlelight
Never close enough and yet never too far Wrapped in blankets rough, speechless, where is the bar? Touching like a hammer, touching like a feather And still Don’t bend to my will
Never far enough and yet never too close Blacker than a dove, midnight dawn is my dose Glowing like a nova, glowing like a candle And still Don’t bend to my will
Climbing castle walls, it’s a long known affair And whoever falls is the first one to get there Chasing fireflies in the light of the pyres Are they the sacrificial or the hopeful fires?
Now! I call upon your name Now! Would you leave me in shame Now! There is no time like tomorrow Just don’t forget I will have drowned in the sorrow
Never bright enough and yet never too dim Symbolism’s tough, should put that on a film Speaking like a thunder, speaking like a wing’s beat And still I bend to your will
Never dim enough and yet never too bright One moment’s gentle fluff is a next moment’s fight Soothing like a war horn, soothing like a caress And still I bend to your will
Sieging castle walls, it’s a long known affair The first gate that falls is the last to repair Chasing water springs in the roar of the ocean Are the chains just made or about to be broken? Now! I call upon their name Now! Is anyone to blame? Now! There is no time like yesterday Just don’t forget there was no time to play
And maybe, just maybe, the voices will quiet Maybe, just maybe, it’s time for a riot!
No! Don’t let the thunder drown out the wings! No! Don’t let the ocean take over the springs! No! Don’t let the hammer break the feather! Nova to candlelight, it does get better!
No matter what I fear No matter what they lie about The castle falls one day Sunshine returns without a cloud
I have to tell myself Night is darkest before the morning ‘til the battle ends, we find peace now in the longing
What does not make sense today Will be in history books, they say And when I can’t stand, you hold me It’s reversed the next day
Maybe we are not destined To know our fate until the last second More than one hand… more than one bond.
