Storm the Castle

“Storm the Castle”

Hey nice to meet ya,

shall I fetch the preacher?

Well, you’re quite a creature and

 I’ve looked all over

Down crumbling ridges, cross seas into rivers,

upon brittle bridges I rapped and roamed

Searched high and low to find a girl that

makes me feel like I’m alive

Permitting weather, we will get together,

I’m light as a feather, floating and fallin,

reprieved and untethered, so

Take down your crystal and

put out your silver,

tonight I’m being driven by chariot ropes

Though all my fears are underpinning

all my hopes I won’t be late

Yes I will go and I will stay,

even though

Your Sister giggles and your

Father sniggers

And your Mother figures,

I’m no kind of man;

I barely talk above a whisper, yeah

‘Cause when I’m w/ ya,

I burn down to cinders,

and I freeze up like winters, evilly thawed,

the very moment that you step out of my sight

Oh sigh, that would be right

Next time I’ll strike

while the irons hot and get it right

Fates always hidden and insights forbidden

Yes, life is obdurate,

though I might be set to fall,

 I’ll never stop tryin to win it, and

Struggles a given for those droll,

dry and driven, yes, so what ya thinkin?

Should I cross the draw?

You say the word I’ll Storm the Castle

if you like, oh bride, of my soul,

 we will rise across the knoll

To the ridge, the river flows,

across the bridge, let’s hope it holds

Alright, alone, alive, unknown... home
