Tapestries and Tomes
When the lightning flashed
And reached across the grey
Creeping through the sky
It took away the day
The heavens' might
Stole the light
And became the night
Bring the candles out
And put them to the flame
Scatter them about
So we might find our way
'Round the wooden floors
That tell the stories
Of years before
Figures on the wall
Flicker through the hall
Gathering 'cross the curtains
One and all
Tapestries and Tomes
Lamps upon the stone
Radiate into the great unknown
Balanced on the wick
A nimble dancer leans
Waving side to side
The beauty that she weaves
Keeps us mesmerized
While the storm is raging
On outside
Creaking of the bind
The surface of the page
Fragile to the touch
And withering with age
Open up the doorway
As you go exploring
To find some more
Figures on the wall
Flicker through the hall
Gathering 'cross the curtains
One and all
Tapestries and Tomes
Lamps upon the stone
Radiate into the great unknown
Figures on the wall
Flicker through the hall
Gathering 'cross the curtains
One and all
Tapestries and Tomes
Lamps upon the stone
Radiate into the great unknown
And reached across the grey
Creeping through the sky
It took away the day
The heavens' might
Stole the light
And became the night
Bring the candles out
And put them to the flame
Scatter them about
So we might find our way
'Round the wooden floors
That tell the stories
Of years before
Figures on the wall
Flicker through the hall
Gathering 'cross the curtains
One and all
Tapestries and Tomes
Lamps upon the stone
Radiate into the great unknown
Balanced on the wick
A nimble dancer leans
Waving side to side
The beauty that she weaves
Keeps us mesmerized
While the storm is raging
On outside
Creaking of the bind
The surface of the page
Fragile to the touch
And withering with age
Open up the doorway
As you go exploring
To find some more
Figures on the wall
Flicker through the hall
Gathering 'cross the curtains
One and all
Tapestries and Tomes
Lamps upon the stone
Radiate into the great unknown
Figures on the wall
Flicker through the hall
Gathering 'cross the curtains
One and all
Tapestries and Tomes
Lamps upon the stone
Radiate into the great unknown
