lyrics

The King he plays a tune upon the rock into the night
The Moon, it rises full and casts shadows made of light
The Darkness slows the time and strips the color from our sight
The Wolf will sing a chorus full of suffering and fright

The North Wind blows my mind into the blackness of the sky
I roll and tumble through the clouds of the Serpent’s Eye
And frolic in the evening mist in amber fields of rye
Singing songs of everything while nothing tells us why

The Queen she stares into the stars beyond the sunlit day
The Tree it branches though the space across the Milky Way
The Wise One sits and thinks of thoughts that he will try to say
The Jester of the Court will sing a song of his dismay

Moon illusion, Shadows made of light, Confusion
Mind Delusion, Perception comes to life, Conclusion
Night Fusion, Darkness fills the mind, Pollution
Soul Inclusion, Reflected in my sight, Solution
