light 7. tales of adventure

Let's kick start this tale of adventure

As the night tears away every censure

All in rays of light through stormy skies

As thunderbolts course through your eyes

And a burning man who sought only the sea

Falls asleep far beneath this withering tree

Where a child's cries illuminate corners

In a tomb that winds in the hearts of the mourners

While the earth splits open and torrents of fire

Ride up on high climbing higher and higher

In your surrealistic meandering dreams

As they try to decipher just what it all means

Let us try to decipher just what it all means

'Cause this cipher of silver and studded with gold

Is the blade of a knife from a platinum mold

Falling through tangled clouds of darkening gray

Parting all of our thoughts all unto a new day

And all boys of wood and all creatures of fey

And all angels and demons sigh, fade away

In a cascade of images rising on shining screens

And my hand works in ink and I tear through the reams

And I close off my heart to those echoing screams

Piercing deep through the surface to how it all seems

To spin infinite radiant cloth without seams

As I try to decipher just what it all means

And we try to decipher just what it all means

And in dark cobwebbed cellars the frost slowly creeps

Over alchemist's jars and reagents in heaps

'Neath this twisted and desperate capering clown

Firing off cosmic fireworks for a night on the town

Where the void grows unchecked and the past has unwound

And in cabins on mountaintops new kings are crowned

While spirals of binary flow out without sound

Out to distant stars and then finally rebound

As static spreads 'cross the television screen

And people consider just what it all means

And we fight to decipher just what it all means.
