Violet Skies

Hear the waves, there's an axe to fall As the serpents crawl through the leaves With a rusted sword, you've never worn You didn't seem to know my face faded in the grey, of all these villains I know your name, I know you're fading away Hold me down, there's a slow and secret curse inside of me, No time, no time ever takes this cloud of reverie I want to breath, but the falling rain wont let me see I don't know if I'll ever find the key To leave this place of endless oaths to see this decade overthrown All the spells we're living under just to keep them on our minds And the whispered incantations that hide the hollow sights Of what we've done while we look the other way But I know that you are with me, together we will find another way There's something deadly in the heart of those sacred tombs They talk salvation like we're walking on a tight rope From all the zealous ones illuminating me Who've never spent a waking moment lost in love Like a season of dreams and awe of the beauty that the world can be In the silence of survival, one word and you can set the spark It is glowing in the embers, and off the cuff, black smoke remark It was said in passing and the meaning was mirage But they took them for blasphemy and they cast you down to die No consequence divine, nor a fleeting final moment to breath for the last Time No, no more summoner; you are just a man in crimson veil We bled in the days spent, we took you for your word as we were told It turns out you were what was cursed all along Within these hallow bones
