Pegasus Rider

I gave lightning its thunder Hotter than a thousand suns Heaving gale winds into the atmosphere I’m a typhoon riding the waves, ...reaping trees out by the roots When I surrender my altitude This close to the face of the earth My eyes caught your irresistable sight Cupid’s arrow shot me down I caught my breath in your heart Seeking the company of your thoughts Oh, such a beautiful mind Your eyes saw me in half Cut me down to my knees My sword is blunt against your shield Unsheathed in the cold of the night My metal armour melts in your glow You held me like a wish Come true You caught me like a fish Oceans blue I fell into a dream And found you When your tears filled my palms I was washed anew Ploughing the wonders of the cosmos Sowing the endless interstellar fields Riding the continuous sunset Tired of wrecking ships and tumbling castles I couldn’t stay away from your love Could there be another for my stable When I only knew my solitude? I could ride the universe... Forever feel the solar wind in my hair Navigate the stars on companionship I come with a sealed message From the ends of time I bring you this ancient passage Just as I've bestowed valour unto knight To drink love from my radical stream I couldn’t betray the joys of this day So I gave daybreak its night I could never tell what's on your mind, But It’ll all be apparent forever after How much your pair of wings mean to me
