A Stranger and a Neighbor

I was traveling with the lone apprentice
When a griffon pierced the night
The stars were unseeing diamonds
From the meadow to the highlands
We two as mortal islands
Enraptured beyond flight

When from the far depths of distant Vega
The Alpha and Omega
Coalesced into a vapor
The Alpha and Omega
A stranger and a neighbor
A stranger and a neighbor

Long ago, in delicate minds
The secret stage began to unwind
The gentle babe began to recline
Now swept by indelicate vines

Of a martyr and a savior
A stranger and a neighbor
From the depths of distant Vega
Not attuned to the prayers
Our slowly fading labors
Ill fuel the glowing tapers
Of a stranger and a neighbor
A lover and betrayer

From the far depths of distant Vega
The Alpha and Omega
Coalesced into a vapor
The Alpha and Omega
A stranger and a neighbor
A stranger and a neighbor
