Animal Designs, Pt. 2

Beside the clouds, beside the trees
Branded where she lie
A story spoke, and iron broke
The hole within the sky
Through the steel, a warmth so real
Marked down the broken line
Drawn between, the gas to dream
All we're meant to find

In ancient days, upon the waves
Staring at his Gods
Trying lines, between the signs
Of sword, and shield, and cod
His hammer laid, upon the spray
Of sparks burned in the minds
A simple flash, of mortal ash
Worn by human kind

Can't you feel those leaves
Stick upon the snow
Ironed by, the one inside
Who set his roots below
Sailing through
Stories in the stars
But still remained, shining plain
Reflecting back the creatures that we are

You've steered, so many years
Through beside the Sun
Burns so bright, upon your flight
That cannot be undone
Through the steel, a warmth so real
Spread upon the floor
All the time, you've come to find
Stood upon the shore

Can't you feel those leaves
Stick upon the snow
Ironed by, the one inside
Who set his roots below
Sailing through
Stories in the stars
But still remained, shining plain
Reflecting back the creatures that we are

He who nailed the iron
The jury would agree
Leave the shade upon his grave
With clouds and human trees
Grew from all he knew
The games we're meant to play
And all the constraints
That lay upon today

See their plan, their outreached hands
Certain and defined
Through the trees, a diamond sea
With animal designs

And skunk hair is standing there
Arms crossed and staring at strangers
Graying and fading away
His brain seeping into the anchor
On a warm December day
