Midnight Odyssey
Closer to the Sky
1. Souls Left Wandering
A light shines over the horizon
The moment of impact unseen
Two distant worlds colliding
The shockwaves scatter and fling
Their atmospheres burning
Their gravities pulling
Burnt are their worlds
They’re left dying
Ever their souls
Are wandering
Burnt are their worlds
They’re left dying
Ever their souls
Are left wandering
The flames in their wake
Nothing escapes
Rock turns to dust
And dust blows away
The stellar collision implodes
The worlds once within, gone
The stardust is scattered far
All the energy that’s left
Is thrown out into the cosmic emptiness
Their souls are swallowed
By the cold empty darkness.
The fires moves over the horizon
The waves of impact are seen
Two empty worlds destroying
The shockwaves are travelling near
Their landforms breaking
Their lifeforms ending
Burnt are their worlds
They’re left dying
Ever their souls
Are wandering
Burnt are their worlds
They’re left dying
Ever their souls
Are left wandering
2. Lightning Fall
Peaking over the invisible horizon
Through the clouds of thick blackened haze
Two moons rise, one full, one crescent
On opposing sides, swaying the mists below
Rise the mists of darkness
Gravity pulls you into the air
The sisters rise from their underworld home
Unleashing mischief and despair
Oh lunar queens of madness
Take hold of me, take over me
Oh mighty beings so contrary
You tear at me, each half of me
One deep azure, the other burning crimson
They fight to control this world they own
They cast a venomous violet glow
A poisoning storm of confusion
Rise the mists of violet darkness
Transform into a wispy glow
The air is thick with madness
The world obeys and parts in two
3. Closer to the Sky
A morning cold
I stirred and rose
And stared into the darkness
I dreamed of fires
I dreamed of warmth
I looked but saw no sunrise
A cliff face old
Where shadows grow
I gazed into the darkness
I felt the chills
I felt the silence
I looked but saw no starlight
An ocean cold
So far below
I leapt into the darkness
I heard the waves
I heard the wind
I looked but saw no bright light
Abandon me, I’ve left for a dream
A promise, a hope and a lie
Alone in here, this world is mine
But with no reason to shine
Abandon me, I’ve left for a dream
A promise, a hope and a lie
Alone in here, this world is mine
But with no reason to shine
Now the sea reflects the stars
And I feel closer to the sky.
4. Awakening
Hold me, hold me to the light of this glory
To the burning of the fires
And let them burn through me
Corroding and eroding
All that’s mortal and so ugly
Let me be reborn into the cosmic flame again
Hold me, hold me to the flame of this fury
To the cleansing of the fires
And let it consume me
Shaping and retaking
All that’s mortal and awakening
What is left of my long lost inner flame, again.
