Restless Nights, Building Dreams in the Dark

I watch her work the stairway
That naked feature shining down on her...
It feels she's so far away
Watching me just as I watch her...

Restless nights, building dreams in the dark.

Blood stained fingers tend to create
Trusted hopes that linger without fear...

I could speak my mind to steal her glance
Or invoke a lion of dreamlike thought,
Just to look deep within her eye once
And show the prey that had been caught.

Restless nights, build me dreams in the dark.

Heaven Came Upon Us

Stranded, the tide was moving in.
Lifted the covers overhead
And away the new sun was rising.

The window had been opened.
The fire had long been burning.
The sand was clear... for now.

Heaven brought down upon us,
Just to dream of the afterlife
While we were awake.

Oh, guardian of the fiery wood
Saluting the star painted sky.
Play us a song to ease the madness.

To recall the earthly night
Would be to bring the sweet delight,
That places pure of devilish fright

Still echo with silence...

Throughout the night.
