New Dawn

Collaboration with Mystic Rose When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old and it takes you to the caves where anything turns gold you don't ask any questions and you don't dare breathe you just follow her, like a light weight tumbled weed Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune every step a little deeper than the crevices of moon you can almost taste the air, on your tonguing clepe you can down the stars of heaven in one single leap Taking you by the waist it shall dance you through the elixir of happiness when your feeling down n' blue you just thank the Lord for the magic of this gift all you need is skin n' eyes to cross her lowly rift When night claims you like a wayward leaf of old and takes you to her caves, all etched with gold don't ask her any questions just go ahead breathe no, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe, yes breathe... Mystic Rose New Dawn When dawn unfolds before you like a mystic rose And awakens all your senses from a deep repose Arise unshackled from capricious dreams Step as you dare on stairs of woven sunbeams Along the once black tunnels where you learned to breathe Forget the darkest stars that taught you how to grieve Float on the air like a magic, golden leaf Grieve for the day because it is so brief Now with bright garlands woven in your hair Dance lightly on a leafy, forest stair Your floating gown as light as clouds and sky Your happiness as fleeting as a sigh When dawn unfolds before you like a mystic rose And awakens your whole soul from deep repose Dance in the day because it is so brief And sigh at the stars that taught you how to grieve.
