when the moon is gone and the darkness surrounding
migrate south across the badlands
under a birdless sky
blind my eyes with sand and move across the land
the sun may come at last
and somewhere turns the steady wheel of time
when the moon is gone and the darkness surrounding
store the treasures of your kingdom like a pharaoh
someone stop the play
the fire burns backstage
the night is long and slow
the silence of the deepest sadness ringing the bells in your ears
spending every waking moment
staring at my face in mirrors
I swear I've changed my shape so many times
there's got to be a method to the madness here somewhere
