The Dream Before Red
Welcome to the dust filled valleys
where everything lay barren and plain
nothing is as it seems though
and it hides in it deep pain
where everything lay barren and plain
nothing is as it seems though
and it hides in it deep pain
Once great prairies and pastures
now only sand and sun
burning unable to cry
yearning for laughter and fun
now only sand and sun
burning unable to cry
yearning for laughter and fun
Yes long are the yesterdays that echo
phantoms dance in setting sun
Wind blazing unable to whistle
for all the trees are gone done
phantoms dance in setting sun
Wind blazing unable to whistle
for all the trees are gone done
Houses abandoned for travel
streets slowly sinking in time
memories no longer recalled
tombs swallowed
spirits unable to rest
streets slowly sinking in time
memories no longer recalled
tombs swallowed
spirits unable to rest
The ever seeking hunger for new breath
Death seeks all
in unchanging tide
the universe churning so as to answer the demands of feeding
Death seeks all

Nay, life is but fleeting petals upon wind's grace and the divine
and we..aye, we who are but moments passing still beg to understand
yet, but is it for us to?
Nay, for if it were then like bird flies south surely we in turn would know
Alas, we are left to ponder
questions never to be answered even if to shout
and we..aye, we who are but moments passing still beg to understand

Nay, for if it were then like bird flies south surely we in turn would know

questions never to be answered even if to shout
Perhaps tomorrow..
tomorrow..
tomorrow..
Bathed in red
here commoth first light.
here commoth first light.
