Stricken, our lives teeter on the edge Of our minds. Like the ocean, caught in a hurricane, I burst. A fury of passion, blood and beauty Strings around me tighten In a hurry to see themselves snap As I am pulled undauntingly closer To the eye of the storm The calm in which The core of our love resides The fire that burns within our soul Keeps the peace that creates the chaos Around us and in our heart Here is where you begin The angel in the shepherd's dream The nightmare above his bed Lost in your open eyes of wonder We rise to greatness Our love takes flight It fights for a purpose But the fire scorches all That is left in its path The cracks in the walls tear open They shatter and fall to dust on the ground We cry out as we fade away Into each other's arms again Your wings, they flutter and open my heart Your skin, still unborn in the cracks in my skull I fly towards you, my beak and claws Colliding with yours A force breaks out of our chests And unites and slaughters our dreams We share a power that none can conquer It forms a universe we cannot grasp It builds and empowers the storm that we are. You are the gold dripping through my veins With your armour and without, Your heart spins within my palms

A Ballade
Stricken, our lives teeter on the edge Of our minds. Like the ocean, caught in a hurricane, I burst. A fury of passion, blood and beauty Strings around me tighten In a hurry to see themselves snap As I am pulled undauntingly closer To the eye of the storm The calm in which The core of our love resides The fire that burns within our soul Keeps the peace that creates the chaos Around us and in our heart Here is where you begin The angel in the shepherd's dream The nightmare above his bed Lost in your open eyes of wonder We rise to greatness Our love takes flight It fights for a purpose But the fire scorches all That is left in its path The cracks in the walls tear open They shatter and fall to dust on the ground We cry out as we fade away Into each other's arms again Your wings, they flutter and open my heart Your skin, still unborn in the cracks in my skull I fly towards you, my beak and claws Colliding with yours A force breaks out of our chests And unites and slaughters our dreams We share a power that none can conquer It forms a universe we cannot grasp It builds and empowers the storm that we are. You are the gold dripping through my veins With your armour and without, Your heart spins within my palms
For the love of my life.
