By the Banks
By the banks of this river wide, I stand silent and unversed
Muddy waters from a violent tide, five snakes among the reeds immersed
This stream is the daughter of my dreams
She is the silver thread that binds the seams
Oh, stream from my darkest well
You are the visions from within my shell
In the footsteps of Persephone, I have sought to find a way
Searching for my queens epiphany,
through the caves and to the light of day
In my wake, it is chasing me,
through these halls of blood and stone
A lighted torch in my hand, my consciousness illuminates the throne
Oh, dream from my darkest well
You are the visions from within my shell
I seek your council, wisest Philemon
can you tell me where to go?
To leave, to escape, across the horizon bright
enter into another life
Dear Salome, will you comfort me?
Stay with me, and grant me clarity
To rise and to fall, it summons us all
Silver snake, brilliant movement from another world
deep underground
Mountains shake, as your body pour the silver seeds
upon the ground
Awakened, by the sound of dragons roaring from
an ancient keep
Portals, open up and lets the light flow down
into the deep
Wanna be, gonna be all
Awaited, I am greeted in the depths beneath the river Styx
Elated, I am reseeded through the knowledge of hypostasis
Oh, my Persephone, your path has led me free
Your light is ever bright, illuminates our fright
A maze from dusk till dawn
It never stops, even if the final clever curtain drops
Life goes on, in every form
facing riddles from whence we're torn
Let me steal another kiss, before I reconcile with bliss
This light it is my consciousness, the only light that I caress,
luminous from east to west
The well of life flows from my soul, opened are the doors of gold I am the snake, the beast of old
