lyrics

Entranced and ensnared by my own--
But what is home?
Lost on waves of words that go anon,
I must know where to find my soul.
Mark the seasons--
Stark deceit is not the reason
For the feelings to show.
It starts with strangulation,
This strange mutation that grows.
Asphyxiation in the grip of creation:
The throes of what I know.

On and on and on,
And one by one by one,
Stars are falling long,
Staying strong, and becoming stone--
Leading me back home.

Shifting, writhing faerie fire:
We strip the light; see what is known.
To peel away layers of tiresome prayers and fighting,
Misguiding the guile and deciding
To stay the way that sways
In the forthcoming days
To reconcile a blight in a home.
Ink and parchment bear my soul
Like notes that only children know,
And you alone are there to hold
The crown I carved from bone.

One by one by one,
And on and on and on,
Stars are falling long,
Staying strong, and becoming stone--
Leading me back home.
On and on and on,
And one by one by one,
Stars are falling long,
Staying strong, and becoming stone--
Leading me back home.
