Unbalanced Pieces

The sky is red
Clouds are grey and copper moon
One day I'll tell you
The threats are veiled
Snowblind at first
Unfurl the sails
For heavens blue or dark uncertain waters

Gone
Now carry on
Through violent seasons
I call you mother, mother, mother
In vain
Absent chain
The twilight's bleeding
And the playing board has two unbalanced pieces

No word is said
Castle grey and sunday soon
One day I'll kill you
The raining sheets batter the ground
Unroll the streets
And walk along on high uncertain wires

Gone
Now carry on
Through seasick seasons
I'm crawling mother, mother, mother
In vain
Absent frame
The twilight's kneeling
And the chessboard still has two unbalanced pieces

Gone
Now carry on
Through violent seasons
I call you mother, mother, mother
In vain
Absent chain
The twilight's bleeding
And the playing board has two unbalanced pieces

Now carry on
Through seasick seasons
I'm crawling mother, mother, mother
In vain
Absent frame
The twilight's kneeling
And the chessboard still has two unbalanced pieces
