Secret, all the world's a secret
All the world's a whisper game
Sometimes I wonder about all the
Things that people never say

The king who murdered for the crown
The queen who drove him to the deed
The rook who speaks no words and only
To the lonely seems to scream

The bishop's shadow of a doubt
The knight's pusillanimity
The little pawn who'd wear that crown
And wreak her vengeance as the queen

Secret, all the world's a secret
All the world's a whisper game
Whence and whither
Hie thee hither
To the king without a name

How she wondered
What they knew
Full of questions
Like a fool

Lady Moon
Lady mirror
Didn't know if
They could hear her

Man of faith
Hand of God
Drew her from the
Chariot

Cold justice like a
Tolling bell
As death came down
For someone else

A lady by the
Starry shore
The dreamy land of
Nevermore

But just as soon
As she'd begun
She stared up once more
At the Sun

Stellar spectre
Fair reward
Chariot
Man of God

Lady Earth
Lady Moon

and the Journey
of the Fool

The more I look around
The more I am persuaded
That uncertainty is
The true meaning of life
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
I think you knew
Long time ago
They thought you knew
And now they know

Where would means wouldn't
Yes means no
We know who knew
I think you know
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
If I let go of my guilt
Does that harm someone
Can anything ever
Be undone

If I sit here
And torture myself
That only teaches me to torture
Someone else

Better if I
Let it go
Don't do it again
I already know

Wouldn't the world
Be much more fun
If we could forgive
Everyone?

So many demons
Have left             my soul
I   gave        them         away
To   the rest            of the world
I   shared        my shadows
With you                all
And they return
As wonder
As love
