Arcturus
hot ruby
in the sky

star unleashed
gives chase
to deep space

one day lost
to our eyes
and our skies

snow silences the world
makes it calm down for a while
shines like mother-of-pearl
makes us want to reconcile
ourselves
as we delve
into winterborn mystery
go ahead and start the fire
shake off the muck and the mire
as winds blow cold and blistery

don't put out the light
let the candle burn
come, embrace the night
you are in my sight
for you my heart yearns
this truth I discern
and secret I share
I'm lost in your stare

you sold out on the auction block
too much back talk, you said
you stupid talking head
your running late for school of rock
and another hard knock
is gonna pick the lock
and try to steal you blind
hope you don't mind

try wrapping your brain around this
it's not just talk, blockhead
I know what is being said
life is more than just hit and miss
and who you gonna kiss
and who you gonna diss
don't try to steal them blind
try to be kind

for you no one is thinking twice
they know too much you know
you got no place to go
if you keep ignoring advice
you have to pay the price
they'll cut you down to size
they'll try to steal your sight
you know they're right

a sacred peace
ferocious
with love released
tempestuous
holy holy
Thine
divine

in lingering darkness
I danced
as the midnight blues played
I glanced
outside, looking for you
entranced
I swayed to the music

I am missing you, love
and sorrow
threatens to flood my soul
tomorrow
it won't come soon enough
the morrow
one more broken promise

the sun will give its light
and the moon
will again rise at eve
but too soon
I will surrender and
let the tune
play one more time in dreams

with a right cross stance
they began their dance
under a full red moon
and he took his chance
at lasting romance
under a full red moon

he spoke the words right
but she felt uptight
under the full red moon
she wished him good night
then blew out the light
under the full red moon

he shed her blood
turned the snow to mud
under the full red moon
now spring flowers bloom
where she met her doom
under the full red moon

now he thinks he's free
chasing liberty
under the full red moon
but her brother's here
and their deaths are near
under the blood red moon

innocence detested
innocence protested
let's burn the town to the ground
unsanctioned aggression
primitive regression
let's burn the town to the ground
tell us why we should care
apathy stops to stare
as no one is safe and sound

take the cause to the street
and knock them off their feet
just watch and don't make a sound
we don't want to make war
we won't take any more
tired of going to ground
we're tired of our plight
we've no choice but to fight
and here we will stand our ground
