• Rails

  Deep into the mists of night, far from the morning star
  Time moves ever forward, never a man shall bar
  Deep into the thrusts of eve, the arctic sunset has yet to dawn
  An eternity awaits a life, forever trapped like the cornered pawn

  An eye for an eye and a kiss for a kiss, so passes the night
  Unoriginal lovers play the unoriginal game, so like the knight
  Nothing special passes between them, just another play at life
  The boy and the girl they are, cut their fear with a knife

  Look deep into the almond eyes, she tarries there
  Look deep into the diamond body, fear is carried there
  Look deep into the hear-filled soul, a life chained does reside
  Look deep into the blue-filled wrist, behold a firelit bedside

  What holds her back? For she reaches yet holds the rail
  Why the hesitation? For to gain a free life is her grail
  Can you see it in her eyes? The guilts, the fear, the shame?
  For were she to let go the rail, life would never be the same

  It can be felt within her, soundless cries to loose the chains
  Every muscle, every sinew, every drop of sweat echoes the pains
  She’s right there behind her eyes, the stength of a thousand suns
  Yet she fears who she may become were she to stick to her guns

  There is strength, a will to strong to be held back by another
  Why then is she not free? Why then dear lover?
  With every tightened grip and every exhalation
  Loud as a whisper she seeks illumination

  Illumine her dear friend! Illumine she that asks it of you
  If she is to be free, compassion it is for you to brew
  If she is to release the rail, if she is to unleash the soul
  The girl in her you must forget, and the woman instead extol.

  Feel it! Feel it! Feel it! Feel the hands of fate on your back!
  Destiny calls you to her! the strength of will she does not lack
  Answer the call my lover, tis time to leave aside the ranger
  Answer the call to greatness, only found in the arms of who once was a stranger
