I watch the silence haunt the shell of time Where soul divests its reason and its rhyme The rolling thunder is the self's own cry A search for light beneath a leaden sky Our flesh is clay, our breath the surging tide Like gulls with nowhere left for us to hide Who stands within the shadow of the soul? The mirror fractured, never truly whole The heartbeat pulses with the rhythm section's might The Ton is driving through the night Our veins are rivers carved from ancient gold A story written, yet to be retold The voice dissolves into the bronze of sound A cello's moan, where sacred truths are found We weave the rimes within the loom of fate To find the key before it's far too late And the secret is revealed in the hollow of the air It is not in what we gather, but in what we learn to spare Life is the atom, the Sun, the single grain The peace that blossoms in the wake of rain Hark to the wind, it whispers out your name The thirst that lingers, the ever-burning flame We are the echoes of an infinite glow The perfect verse that only spirits know Humanity, a breath, a flickering light The truth is but the cross we bear in sight Peer deep into the void's unblinking eye And find the warmth beneath the frozen sky Just be, the secret is to be
