Sitting in the dark
Eyes closed not sleep
Resting the body
Expanding the mind
Bring forth the drums

Slow everything down
Crush down emotions
The dreams that might
Any legends of the mind
Tune up the mind

Focus out the body
Ignore it's whines
Feel the blood slow
Turn off its feelings
Let breathing flow

Ears pick the smallest
Another distraction
Tone it down
Relax each muscle
Spin coherency away

Focus on the pounding
Rhythmic, stone on leather
Heartbeats pound, thump
War drums of bringing
And the taking of life

Breath, set it's tempo
Draw that tarot card
See, read the choice
Picked by the drum
Of swords, a nine

Still closed, sleep not close
Bring me fire, bring fight
Give me anything, but this
See inside, see so far
Drift not, stay on track

See the ace, fill your cups
Seek wine, lose your mind
Twist that thought
Thunder drums
Lightning fast

Hear it's crack
Break the sky
Split my world
Falling with drums
Twinkling bits of star

No need to question
Blood pumps the beat
Violent, just beneath
Calm meditation
No movement betrays

Look to her
A queen, regal
In her cups
Then turn away
Apologize, haute glare

Let it fall, let it drift
No need to fight
Carry not for death
Let it out, set free
Close off emotions

Seek plenty, find peace
Find the rhythm seek pace
Don't let sword or cups
Wreck logic or spread
Bind damage to pain

Let darkness fall
Hear the symphony
Drift in silence
Float out slow
Kiss you in sleep
