lyrics

ATTIC

1
Twice upon a time
Once upon a dream
I felt i was laughing,
Where i could only scream

In a faraway land
Where the shores have no sand
The owl and the poet
Set free the caged swan

2
Clutching on the thin threads
Of sanity and pride
Concealed their thoughts and linked the dots
A shape of hearts inside

The bitter tears, i'll let them weave
A shadow across their way
For frayed is the path they seek
And vain is the play

Seven times the've answered
To the calls of Seers and foes
Lesson given,mischief forgiven
With songs they count the loss

Of equal three, i chose the best
And both just felt the same
Turning the page in times of haste
Can lead to smile or shame

3
With thirst and dust and melted wings
The owl just slept through the day
The ticking clock woke no one
And the swan just cried and prayed

The waking call found a shore
Barren of love and life
And purple seas, washed the breeze
Breathed upon a lazy eye

4
Eternal beam of light and fire
Cast flame upon the land
Bless the signs, conceive the rhymes
Sung by a lonely band

The owl landed and bent the branch
And the poet choked his rage
Missing parts are blank again
Just light stains on a page

Logic stems the tears of love
Gives birth to God's desires
devour the swan, a lifeless can
'Til dreaming time expires

Awaken fool, transparent moth
Behold the Angel's sin
For spice it is of man's delights
To Gods it remains unseen
