lyrics

A bird slurred a song of sorrow he borrowed from tomorrow's awe.
A cat purred along as she heard the third's absurd swoop and soar.
It's half of something squared, a shared laugh, a prayer to time's shore.
The chords run towards the sun and climb the stairs to rhyme's door.
Nature's law dictates fate creates a gate before you explore the core.
And it's a hurricane of cocaine in chains as champagne raindrops pour.
But words can't explain the profane bliss of the refrain's sublime score.

Picture this volcano where earthly ecstasy loads
To return your dreams on a burning stream that flows
Into the snow forest where mercy grows like a rose
And algebraic angels compose acid odes in a doze,
Painting the paradox of a paradise no saint knows
Where death has no foes and the hurricane sows
The codes of the unknown into celestial rainbows
Until the lone saxophone blows and trombone explodes.

Hear the harps hum a hymn as the limbs of death shine their light.
See the grieving leaves fall from the trees breathe in the night.
Now listen to the weeping colours christen the spark of infinity:
I found a dark sound on the ground that let me be free.
Twilight murmurs a mighty miracle and the midnight fades
Into the graveless enclave which brings peace to the old parade.
The lullabies crafted by the lava colonnade bake as love shakes
The trees which are guardians of the lake where we awake.
