Nightingale

No perception of passing time

The words struggle to escape her mind

New perspectives to redefine

Birdsong awakens her from the storm

Shuffle the sequence of old paradigms

The rhyme and meter still misaligned

Another page lay burning in the fire

The ink and the feather hold their secrets well

Nightingale

I dream in daylight

One fateful night

Unspoken bonds

Unraveled

I'm ever of the chosen

My signal fire

Still burning

I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem

Poetic justice arriving after all

When characters and places start to form

A sullen emperor endures his requiem

Can he live with this lament?

A mechanical animal, a dangerous game

That clockwork song it sings will send you to your grave

Now heed the nightingale's cautionary tale

Away, away, for I will fly to thee

One fateful night

Unspoken bonds

Unraveled

I'm ever of the chosen

My signal fire

Still burning

I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem

One fateful night

Unspoken bonds

Unraveled

I'm ever of the chosen

My signal fire

Still burning

I feel like I'm guided by the totem inside

Dig in with your claws

I push my talons into your skin

Heal me with your song

You are forgiven for all your sins

Dig in with your claws

Sleep now in blissful anesthesia

Heal me with your song

Still no perception of passing

Nightingale

I dream in daylight

Nightingale mine

See me take flight

One fateful night

Unspoken bonds

Unravel me (unravel me)

My signal fire

Still burning

I feel like I'm guided by the totem

One fateful night

Unspoken bonds

Unravel me (unravel me)

My signal fire

Still burning

I feel like I'm guided by the totem
