Graying Moondust--The Song

I'm looking at the mosaic floor,
Thinking of heaven
In front of unopened doors,
I try to go insane.

Through the wickerwork,
Of my crystal bed,
Everything's blurring out,as reality fails!

And sanity goes...goes...goes...
Sanity goes...it goes....

The plaster is peeling off,
Hope the bricks will follow in its wake.
Maybe the sun will shine through,
Maybe,out there,its day.

In the many layers of the wall,
A dead child's artwork lay
Merging with the damp patches of the cursed rain!

Sanity goes...goes ...goes
Sanity goes..it goes.

The windows seem bigger now
With the painted panes broken.
The hinges were rusted when
The silver chest was stolen.

Upon a wintry night,
By a poor famished man.
Haven't undone the wreckage,ever since he left!

Sanity goes...goes...goes
Sanity goes...it goes.

The staircase is eroded
By the incessant footfalls,
Cracked in all places,
As the terrace stands tall.

The doors are all caved in,
By storms and earthquakes,
Stuck in this madhouse,how will I escape!?

Sweet, sweet Insanity,
Please,please,talk to me.
Rise now,its not time yet,
For you to go to bed.

Burn illusions into my vision,
Dilute my pain in tears of delirium!
Oh,Sweet Insanity,do stay up with me,
When I die for you,do remember me?

Hallucinating through all Life,
Now I feel so free,
To hope,it was all a dream,I was never me...

Sanity goes..goes...goes...
For Sanity goes...goes...goes..
Sanity goes......

Oh,Sanity goes.

Fever


We make daylight down in the dungeons.
Fumes of our Craft just turned gold.
In the cyclical hour to rejoice,what we make
Hear us clink glasses,sip our own blood?

Mesmerised by fear,we work through,
For Master of the crown,his sovereign rule.
And she watches away,her black eyes unblinking,
She toils away,but her wounds are yet to sink in.

And she sees...She sees..oh she sees...what she sees...

The fingers blue of tormented souls
Of dead soldiers still linger here.
Mirrors uncracked,thats forbidden here,
So Light can't reflect your fear.

Our golden brew is as good as the real,
Bask in its lustre,feel the heat on your palms.
The dark dungeon is nor dark,nor cold,anymore.
The daylights in our cauldrons will make us calm.

The Master always anticipates a betrayal,
He smiles,sadistically,for he knows us. 
She,with the sun fresh in her memory,
Looks upto the ceiling,where the sky should be.

And she screams...She screams..oh she screams...what she screams...

I want to see the darkness revealed,
In the light of the crusades,how heroes feel,
I want to find,a tower high,
That the creature called Fear can't ever climb.

And they work away,
Upto the oasis after Life.
To rise over their sorrow,
By forgetting Little Life.
They smile away,
Through the stench of sweat,
To overthrow fear,
By covering the wounds that bled.

Darling,dont you know how to scream,
Look under your bed.And scream!
Child,oh child,when we die,
Dont be like us,please,please.Cry!

Divine Return

I'm cornered in a web
Of glittering stars,
Waiting for it to go dark,
As sweet music accuses me,
From far afar,
Intruder you belong elsewhere.

Where have I gotten myself to,..I wonder...
Oh,I wonder...

I was running last I recall,
Racing ,escaping my shifting shadow,
Its a game,a little boy had discovered,
When I kissed the blue lips of sorrow.

Someone is watching over me,always...always..

As I watch her die slowly,
Seperate from this childish me,
Shedding the last layer of sigh,
The Ghouls are shrieking to break free.

In a remote village,a babe is born.

And the sombre saga leaves me not,
Death's bliss is not enough,as I'm caught...
 In the shadows of glittering stars.

Its you alone,why I'm still ungone,
A ghost,a phantom,a registered no one.
Unlocking the mesh of glittering stars,
I descend to be near you,from far above.

Our Rhyme

Yellowing trees,
Hung with berries,
White pasteurs,
Caressing winter loos,
Throttle my dreams,but I still sleep.
With Death on my side,at crossroads now,
I walk Saintless Street.

And then I come back to  you.
They said it wasn't true.
I believed their religion then,
But am an atheist now for you.
And across the lightyears of time,
I see now,
How perfectly we rhymed.
If only you died.
I see you like I never tried,
I believe you like I lied.
Pray for you like I have to hide.
It comes like a runaway bride.
If only you died.

Climbing tilt ladders,
Fixing spotlights,
For the choir to sing,
Black curtains rise
Under glaring neon lights,I fall asleep.
With Death on my side,at crossroads now,
I walk Saintless Street.

And then I come back to  you.
They said it wasn't true.
I believed their religion then,
But am an atheist now for you.
And across the lightyears of time,
I see now,
How perfectly we rhymed.
If only you died.
I see you like I never tried,
I believe you,I lied.
Pray for you like I have to hide.
It comes like a runaway bride.

And the rain comes down,in brilliant drops,
Bare your skin,to the wise dollops.
Dont let the wisps of heaven's addiction,
Flee to anyone else's sky.
Come,old friend,
Let us get wet together tonight.

Lets get drenched in the words unspoken,
Let the morn wait,keep the moon hidden,
Let me breathe for you under this aerial sea,
Wont you come,can't you hear me?

Let us get wet together tonight...
In more rain a million galaxies can hide,
In the bloom of a  fiery spring tide,
Come to the old times.

Humble is my Pride-Watermark--------The Song.

Within the ring now,
Spectators,dictators crowd.
Exposed falsehoods of the silver lining of the cloud---

Dont let it escape,rain will wash away,
Dont let the cloud escape,rain must wash away
Watermark upon the glass from which we both drink,
Watermark to remind you where you had to sink.

Watermark in my tears quiver,
Along the banks of lotus lake.
The world beneathe the ice captured you forever
And time is now I get to surface!

Fear me not,I'm not here to kill,
What can I do,if your vanity likes my sword's hilt,
Suppress me not,I make you feel,
I reflect your reflections,always did.

The monsoon comes close,witness to your ramblings,
They wet you not,you should dress like me.

But now,bow down,while all looks on,
This ring close in,victory's for one alone.
Kneel,please,I wish not to slay my kin
I love you,but I cannot see myself ruined.

And you are....my ruin....

Guilty as charged,
Lips black,all parched.
The jury's entranced,why don't you speak?

Don't let the trance break,their hot hiss will erase,
Dont let their trance break,their hot hiss will erase
Watermark that divides you and me,
Watermark,wintry draught do you see?

Watermark,in my tears quiver,
Along the banks of a lotus lake.
The world beneathe the ice captured you forever,
Time is now I get to surface.

Fear me not I'm not here to kill,
What can I do,if your vanity likes my sword's hilt.
Suppress me not,I only make you feel,
Reflect your reflections,always did.

Fear me not,I'm not here to kill,
I must,I'm obliged to let you live.
I'm only to relieve your flesh of wax,
And conceal your snow tracks.

The rain rusts your hollow mask,shed your skin.
A nascent flake in the hail befalls,are your bleedin'?

Where in watermark,still remains a memory,
Of your descent,'lo when you needed me,
I can still hear the purl of your last cry for help,
Under a million raindrops,I can still hear the ocean call.

And you're....gone.....
Broken doll.....
You're gone....

The Beyonders

She watched them in silence,numbed by their pain,
As she walked the draught,handing out medicines,
Killers of pain they swallow,pallid disdain
Etched upon the war-wounds in their skins.

He beheld her from afar,through smoke-laden evening air,
Its salty tang upon his bleeding knees mollified
As he spied through his poison ivy bush lair,
Humbled by her tears,his pain burnt as desire.


And their blank faces screamed,
We're fighting a losing battle.
Soon these flags will be tattered,
To shepherd bloodshed of hearts riddled.

But they gazed away,from the two ends
Like little lamplights across a tunnel,
While battle roared and thrashed before them
Their eyes remained in each other's shakles.

Someone yelled to her,kill him,
He will slaughter you like cattle.
But all was quiescent,under the carcass,
He fought a losing battle.
Until...

A sword clanged to the haven of Death,
Nobody turned at a halt,
He stood armless,
A brief look as of funeral,
And the swords clashed on,
His limp demeanour fell in prayer
Pledge to forgiveness,
Unto Mighty Warrior's Song.

A smile lingered on his lips,
Ghost of a kiss lurked on his cheeks.
Lilting notes can be heard still
From where he sleeps.

As the battle runs deep,
Nobody knows where he sleeps
Mellow,forgiven betrayal reaps...
Somewhere...


Somewhere...can be heard lilting notes,
Of his violin
As she rocks and knits wintercoats
And sews and sings,
With a smile at his frequent looks.
Somewhere far off, beyond the mongergames...
Yonder where no one will ever seek them...
Beyonders,they wield love in their name.
Beyond,they wield victory
The frosty battles could never claim.

Flight of Grace,Fall into Place

Lower your hood,
Shame will only wreak destruction,
Face the moon,
We know about your demented visions...



The morning is dawning...
When you become us.
You are frail,
You succumb to our old cold rust.


Hypnotizing,elegant,so hayed 
Was the memory of your old bed.
Now that you're gone,they rip down your portraits,
Soldering your shreds,sold are your diary's pages.
But you're falling....

You're falling,
And you're falling...
Cold and naked is this earth.
Falling,you're falling,
Falling from grace you are,
And you are...
One among us.

In the past,
When we tried to flee far from home,
You numbed the crowning beast in us...
Though you failed bitterly,
'Cause by the first notes of cageless birds...

We would be gone,
Lacey strings torn.
Hold our head down,unwind the airs and graces,
Silk heels,satin straitjackets fly traceless.

But you're falling for the ashes,
Of your besmirched letters.
You're falling,you're falling...
Faling from grace you are.
And you are ...
One among us.


Lower your hood,
Shame will only wreak destruction,
Face the moon,
We know about your demented visions.
Feel free to feel
No mercy for your desertion...
Why blame us?Look there she
Walks away where your betrayed us.

At this depth from the sea-level,
Water mere clogs your perception,
You shall live,you need not breathe,
All is well for creatures underneathe.


Insects fed to the hounds of the castles,
Scurry away towards the light underground.
Open tunnels teach your old rimless rooms to see
The end of Fear and Tomorrow's beginnings.
Light of the Sea,
You see defiantly.
While they who dwell above us,
Flourish blackglasses,
To weep...
For you selfishly...

Feel consoled that
We've all basked in your dreams.
At the end we've all woken up
To the same mornings.

The verdict is declared.
Their words wont change,
Their black eyes glare
Like a void in the sky that ascends.

Lower your hood,
Shame will only wreak destruction,
Face the moon,
Your darkcircles play sacrifice.

But you're falling,
And you're still falling,
Cold and naked is this earth.
You're falling,you're falling,
Falling from grace you are,
You have slept with them long enough,
Its time to come down to us.
You've fallen.
You're one among us...
