Night Settles
Dust circles
Night unsettles
A broken form
Now, owns the horizon
A perfect storm
Searching for...needing an origin
Tears risen
Fears driven
Into a dream
To the end of all reason
A wind so warm
To capture beauty like a prison
Chorus
Riches come fast
But it’s all gold dust
What lies in your rubble
What truth do you resemble
When we know everything
There is to know about everything
‘cos your pillars are still standin’
But we can’t reach an understanin’
So we much on
Down memory lane
To shattered homes
Where we’re unknown...this stormy season
A soul with no name
On the verge of self-destruction
Life’s golden syrup
Some joy still irrupts
Spreading life’s flow...stealing love's glow
Now about to drop
Our death trap
Onto the unforgiving cold floor!
Chorus
Riches come fast
But it’s all gold dust
What lies in your rubble
What truth do you resemble
When we know everything
There is to know about everything
‘cos your pillars are still standin’
But we can’t reach an understanin’
Unearth my fossils
My wealth you shovel
Decode my DNA...my hidden memory
I turned to stone
Oh, I returned to dust...a wasted legacy
Riches come fast
But it’s all gold dust
Cities of gold, cities of old!
What lies in your rubble
What truth do you resemble
Your salt runs into the ground
In your twisted games...you turned around!
Dust circles
Night settles
Inspired by Prime Circle's – Let the night in
