Pulled through time and space
Encaged in this Crystal Prison
Unknown . . . this face . . .
Do they know they've made a mistake?
No one need die again, No one need die again
We
Defy
Death
No one need die again, No one need die again
No one need die . . .
Endless
Ancient
We defy
Endless

The Dreaming

Dust and the dark
I’ve got to hold on
Though I fear that I soon will be dead
If not before dawn
Before dawn
This wretched road rubble
The screams of the sea
Of all the survivors,
There are two loyal to me
I must make my way
This place is the key
I stumble and fall
A knock at the door
My brother’s insist
With one touch of this parchment I own, I’ll begin to exist.
The coma’s undone
Your daughter still lives
I offer protection
Her fate has been fixed
From shadows I hide
Desperate to bridge
The ones that have gone
The dreaming unhinged
This is my house, an evil place
Do I dare to come in with no hope of escape
A new darkness falls across the land
It slowly creeps in all the silt and the sand
The windows nailed shut, the trapdoor locked tight
Visitors moving out there in the night
A vision from hell, ghostly and gaunt
With eyes full of teeth, a predator stalks
And nightmares I cry,
It starts tonight!

Roll back the sheets
Your skin slips through my fingers
Slips from your body onto me
Tell another tale
One you’re sure I’ve heard
You look tired, you look older, you look pale
Dreams upon the Alter
Still you do your best
One step back roll forward
and your weight will do the rest
Now you don your gown
With coins on my eyes I’m gonna make it
I’m gonna pay the devil down
Bones, the haunted shell
The waisted skin & bones
The drawstring pulled
These walls, warm flesh and blood
Her eyes are closed
She’ll rest now with her love
The dreams are gone
The dreams are gone . . .

Fifty years imprisoned by the cunning and the lowest of the earth.
Set out to trap my sister, I became the one, the victim.
Mistake that set the plan in motion, oh my brother Destiny
I will not stray, no cannot stay away from the path before me . . .
Standing on the edge of what will be and what has always been
I ride the wake, the wind, retrieve what’s mine, my only mission
No matter what waits for me behind these walls, no evil will delay
I will be whole again, now I’ve arrived at these unholy gates . . .
Slowly the doors open to reveal the sounds of awful things
Gnashing teeth, the sweat dripping from the trolls the dregs the wings
I enter under parlay not to harm a soul, a beast, a witch, can I
Do as I’m told in his domain, make my request and then will fly
Awake, Awake, to the world it’s not abandoned you
Awake, Awake, this is not my charge, it is not my time
Awake, Awake, you were always destined to be burned
And I was always destined, destined to return.

The Ruby
Corrupted
It's bearer
Decayed
Pharaohs of old
Kings dead and gone
Queen full of blood
My Ma's coming home
Nightmares I cry
It ends tonight!
Pharaohs of old
Kings dead and gone
Fists full of bones
Queen full of blood
My Ma's coming home
Nightmares I cry
It starts tonight
It ends tonight

Take my hand into the sunless lands
By her side the darkness lifts where my soul resides
The steady beat of mighty wings
There’s no time for life, or death, or anything
So much to restore / So much to take away
So many worlds to create / It's not the end, it's only a change
My quest, my purpose gone / But still . . . I remain
But all of this /None of this
Can wait
All of this can wait.
Why hesitate, when it becomes so clear
One more step, that’s all it takes, there’s nothing to fear.
So much to restore / So much to take away
So many worlds to create / It's not the end, it's only a change
I can’t hear a thing/ But still . . . I remain
Save the steady beat
The steady beat of wing
