Wild Are the Boys of Dune
Partnered with the light is ever darkness
Where wild boys of dune collect themselves
In chariots of steel inside the mind
Cocooned from what once was but now is gone
They ride clear off the edge of night
Rising to the sun by lost horizons
With music loud. With silence all about
Cliffs are less forgiving in the clouds
Off they go into the fall of men
Leaving only dust behind as a reminder
Of a place they might have found back then
Is that Icarus or Daedalus up ahead
In wings and wax still melting in the sun?
Is there a flight path to heaven less conspicuous?
Partnered with the light is ever darkness
Where wild are the boys of dune inside
Riding chariots of steel inside the mind
Where sand inside the shoes is an illusion
Drifting higher to the mounds of silence
Into horizons once described, are done
