Together

I see the path before me lying
I admit I couldn't before
I want to be there for your sorrow
That's what partners are for
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

The pattern is so clear now
As wheels unwind and turn
Were you to light the match
I'd simply watch the world burn
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

When our secrets are discovered
And all the world seems lost
We will burn together
No matter how high the cost
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

But when the tide is changing
And all the lights are pale
Will you stand beside me,
To finish the drawn out tale?
Do you understand? Will you bear my burdens gladly?

Turnstiles of Time

Will you miss me when I’m gone?

When the dust clears

And the smoke settles

Will the memories fade?

As the lights dime

And the curtains close

The people pass through

The turnstiles of time

I want to leave my mark

Ghostlight

Ghostlight

When the curtains close

And the lights all dim

There’s only me

Standing there without him

The lights all fade

To the darkest of blacks

So deep that it burns

Inner demons attack

Swarming and seething

Eating mind and spirit

An all consuming power

No wonder I fear it

That empty stage

That lights on old ghosts

Brings light to the darkness

To what we fear most

So don’t leave me here

In the dark and alone

Give me thunderous cheers

I’ll truly be home

An Ember Burns Higher Then Flames Prodded Higher

A spark lights the way

It glows like a fay

It burns higher and faster

Leading quickly to disaster

You must prove who is the master

Or else you will pay

So as the fire you lay

Remember that they they say

As the fire blows past her

An ember burns longer then flames prodded higher

Keep this mindful, don’t delay

Whatever else you say

It must be held fast or

It spells true disaster

Because it’s true what they say

An ember burns longer then flames prodded higher
