Silver Light

Silver Light Come to you this story Or from you does it come How born to this blood Was I to a curse Upon me, how? Whence comes the night Hence comes the call The teeth and claw The hunger raw Cries, It's over me now Come to you this story Or from you does it come Told as time is long The tale of the Other-Me How born to this blood Was I to a curse, upon me Unbeknownst to neighbor Unbespeaked to kin Whence comes the night The call of the moon arise This I find at work Within me a war That bids me bare... Nevermind the teeth Nevermind the claw Nevermind the feet The howling were-self Cries, I'm over you now Bright I find these Morning mercies Deeply I must drink The cycle conspires But hope still arise in me Will I evermore Be rid of this deep And weary weight (Whence comes the night) Ever comes the night (Hence comes the call) Evermore the call (The teeth and claw) Ever hard I try (The hunger raw) Yet the wielding were-self Cries, I'm over you now Cries that, I'm over you now I ran myself into the wood To save the world from me When night befell the moon did rise I tied me to a tree If they had only known of all the things That I understood to be But nothing man has said Nor wrought Can stave the change occurred I'm telling this to warn the souls Who think me so absurd What waking eyes can understand When stumbling on that Hidden church Oh, is someone there to hear my call Oh, the reasons stained are in the wall Oh, I can smell the doubt and fear Oh, will anyone dare draw me near Oh, enough despair to beat the air Oh, approaching now is one Should I run, should I run Far away from here Deep I drink these morning mercies... Then comes to me Revolution Truth to make one weep For I see that I Am not what I am to be And but for Light Could I not defy And live to tell Here the beast at loss Where the trigger holds In shadow of the Cross Then Silver Light I cry, It's over now Cry that, It's over now Nothing can take me over now!
