Echoes of an Island at Midnight

run with the stars and laugh at the light

toe the razor where water meets sand

and the waves crash like the ticking

of some godless clock

don't ignore the moons

as they pull you close and

whisper in your ear

'only lovers dance in the night'

embrace the drink that hits your tongue

like the blood that flows through your viens

for that is the hand that wields my scythe

what a shame

to have lived all these years

only to fear the sun

Jesus, what must be done?

watch your back, as i shall watch mine

disheartened; completely alone

but this isn't the first time

you can take nothing more

forsaken in my eyes.

i followed the light, along with the blind;

faith dripping from a stone

soon to return to the dust of your lies.

falling souls dancing with desire

clothed in the dark, for this is the place

where spirits are fed to the fire!
