Strolling through the woods alone
A golden afternoon
Perfume fills the air around
Flowers are in bloom

Glimpse a sparkle from afar
A shimmer in the sky
Giant tower made of glass
Looming elegance hillside

Approaching under bleeding sky
The stars won’t shine tonight
A gaze I’ve missed for ages now
Their wise and ancient light

Danger licks its lovely lips
This isn’t the first time
But then there’s nothing left for me to lose
Silent doors glide shut behind

The bell sounds, the floor pulsates
Under watch of setting sun
Catapulted in my capsule
To lilac skies above

See the land below no longer
Still soaring ever higher
Swiftly fly through violet clouds
To the top of awesome spire

Horizon bleak and vacant
Truly limitless from here
My head so giddy with wonder
Far away from guilt and fear

And the wild roar of thunder
Monolith crumbling down
Glass breaks beneath my feet
I fall towards the ground

Plunging downward through the air
A noise that drums the brain
Deafening is the din
A new and loathsome pain

Furious is the Earth that seizes
I land with broken bones
Shards rain down, I’m bloody
I’m hurt and cold and alone

Lie here broken weak in misery
A Dark night is to follow
But the stars will shine again
And the sun will rise tomorrow
