Black Wings

Hold back in the silence
The wind and the sun at your side
Feeling the elements
That blow through your voice and your cries
Twisted like the rambling rose
That holds you and tears your skin
Stay in sweet repose
And wait for the night to come in
Black wings and a dark house
A grey ribbon light in the sky
A girl’s eyes holding promise
The red of the lips you deny
Dark forms sliding over
The corners of rooms you hold dear
Deep in your conscious
The shadows where we appear
Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes
Enter the temple
Enter the church of your mind
Give into redemption
Come leave the living behind
Join us in a burning fire
Dance as the morning falls
There we will wait for you
Till the night once again calls
Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes
