The ripples dance and call me liar
How do they know me I’ve never asked?
Seven times I’ve heard my conscience cry
I’ve never worked out why I need to live this tainted life
Once I ran to you, now I’ll run from you
This tainted love you’ve given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that’s not nearly all
[This just shuffled on my computer as I came to this thread, btw:]
And as the fog gets clearer
Though it really breaks the heart
The weak gets strong and nearer
and condensation tears are brushed away
Security softens the lie.
I can see clearly now, the rain has gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe
But it’s all around if we could but perceive
People say to see is to believe
Then they just believe in that they can perceive
What they see is not the total view
Filtered between the me and you
I have the same dreams every night
I wake up shaking in the morning light
I don’t know what could be expected of me
I only know that I believe what I see
And you - do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
Said the night wind to the little lamb: Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb. Do you see what I see?
Can you not see that little light up there?
Where?
There!
Where?
Over here!
And we won’t come back till it’s over
Over there.
I must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home.
No, no no no
No no no, no no no no no
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave!
Can you hear me
Or do I surmise?
That you fear me can you feel my temper
RISE.
You got wings upon your back and you can fly
It’s the way that you feel, it’s the truth in your eye
'Cause you’re up against the world and still you rise
And still you rise
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things, towards heaven, thy destined place:
Sun and moon and stars decay, time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away to seats prepared above.
Far above the Ravengate
The spread wings of Blashyrkh wait
Above the roaring depths
Sits the oath of frost on the elder Raven Throne
I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Spreading his hand on the multitude there
A man who cried for a love gone stale
And ice cold hearts of charity bare
I am sent to the corners of your mind, where a fire burns and you only see the light.
It was out of control.
You were wrong, you let it go.
How was I to know?
Hear what I say
I’m gonna get out of my mind
Where I’m going to be on your way
Your spirit is calling after, will I disappear?
Celie, she’s oppressed
Her spirit is all but gone
Her cry for help no one sees
No one sees her at all
