Objet D’art

Buried in the marrow of tomorrow promise blooms
An incandescent Objet D'art that flowers in the womb
The longing for a life that waits
The light beyond the trees
But chasing the shadows of the dead will never bring them home again
Awaken to the early light refracting through the trees
We gain a new perspective of the past and what it means
The wilting yellow leaves that fall
Are carpeting the streets
Forever is a long winding road
It's good to know we're not alone
And so we sing a song a hymn a requiem to lift our heavy hearts
And in a moment of conviction come to terms with what we've lost
For all the time that one can waste
On life that's beyond means
You're rattling the cage of Hell
Do you really want to live forever?
Life for me began with the acceptance of mortality
The eyes are wide
The light it something we achieve
We cool the fevers of our heads
Down come rain
Rivers edge
Tormented hand in hand in the dark
Jet black veil
Sanguine heart
An irrepressible chain of events
Flood run down
Fever pitch
Our empty beds are warm and dry
Down your head
Down your eyes
I can see posterity
Alive with possibility
I can see posterity
Alive with possibility
