Conquistador
Outside the frame Of the vision I’ve ignored I trust my brain To deceive me evermore I never let it go What am I waiting for? Outside the frame I’ve been static for too long In place of pain Take this answer and leave the world alone I never let it go Maybe I could have fought The thoughts that kill And gotten out before One whisper is all I hear Seductive piecе of fear is all I need to breathe It shattеrs the crystal heart All I’m taught to feel Exhale and be at peace Now my body’s brought to heel So follow one last empty threat With empathy Hollow be my final breath Release me, apathy Empty of mind, present of heart I’m free from my own guilt The shell I create, unyielding Outside the frame One whisper to break my fall One whisper to keep my bristled hands grounded here I’d have taken a return to Earth Away from her dead stare One whisper sprout from the glare of her furrowed brow You can see the roots of her silence And feel them grasp for air One whisper, it never let me go

Whence shall I<br/> Bend over, exert myself<br/> to some outer limit<br/> Where pain exists, beyond<br/> <br/> Within lies one<br/> deep breath of relief<br/> As I move the sweat <br/> from my forehead to my forearm<br/> <br/> The sun is too hot<br/> but I am too strong<br/> To stop here, keep keeling over<br/> To lay my head to rest<br/> <br/> Not today, not today, not yet

I can see the height of life, of consciousness<br/> From my hidden perch, an epiphany<br/> Like the first light of day, opened my soul<br/> And filled it with beauty<br/> <br/> We planted this garden<br/> Whose songs you had me sow<br/> Together we harvest, and better they grow<br/> With my sight and your power…<br/> <br/> We knew what there was to know<br/> Left alone in the path of God<br/> <br/> I surrender my body <br/> My life on this Earth<br/> And for it, my mistake in judgment<br/> Has left me shrouded in doubt<br/> <br/> I wander through the memory <br/> of the day my spirit broke<br/> And vividly now I recall<br/> how I poured my grief-stricken water<br/> <br/> Time don’t heal every wound<br/> But it set me free<br/> <br/> Loyal to every fault<br/> And it’s killing me<br/> <br/> Have you felt the weight of time, a burden<br/> On my careless flight through eternity<br/> Like the last breath of night, there’s solace in dawn<br/> For all those who seek it

Raging torrent of flame<br/> Your voice is the sound of anguish<br/> of undying love,<br/> unyielding feeling<br/> It screams from within<br/> the cavern of light that is my heart<br/> <br/> How I long for this Earthly dance<br/> to be seared in parallel<br/> two standing pillars of flame<br/> They find themselves grounded here<br/> Burning with passion<br/> and yet blind to the other<br/> <br/> You saw me too, my blue hand in yours<br/> Yet this what I choose<br/> The anguish I knew, I still let it happen<br/> Don’t ever tell no one the truth<br/> <br/> You saw me, and I held on tight<br/> And all I felt was the heat of your hand (it burned mine)<br/> You saw the chain around my neck<br/> And pulled it tight<br/> The answers in your palm<br/> are just as true as mine

I lay down my arms<br/> My tools, my weapons too<br/> I beg of you, you ghosts of lives passed<br/> Forgive me, forgive me<br/> For years I tried to fight those most painful memories<br/> Of what I’ve done and where I’ve been<br/> They made me what I am<br/> And yet I’d trade it all<br/> <br/> I swear again<br/> My body means nothing<br/> I swear it one last time<br/> Let it rot, let it die for all I care<br/> My body means nothing<br/> Let me gasp for air one last time<br/> <br/> ...and take from me the earth <br/> on which I kneel and pray<br/> <br/> The furnace of bones conceals me<br/> From desperate attempts to surrender<br/> <br/> I search for the key every second I live <br/> to show I’ve closed my eyes<br/> Convinced to resign, my heart may be<br/> But my soul won’t give itself up<br/> Until my will is gone<br/> I’ve given you all that I can<br/> What more does it mean to surrender my body, my mind?<br/> <br/> I swear again<br/> My body means nothing<br/> Will you give me one last chance to set you free?<br/> <br/> I lay down my arms in surrender<br/> My tools, my weapons too; will you forgive me?<br/> What she demanded from me is not mine to give<br/> My soul’s alone, until my will is gone

My horse aflame<br/> I am the eyes in the night<br/> Through the fog of time<br/> he carries me<br/> Faith, take these reigns!<br/> and string them through my crown<br/> <br/> He is the sail to my soul<br/> And we storm with passion<br/> <br/> I tried to break the wheel <br/> my hope unyielding<br/> <br/> Heart wet with pain<br/> Have I dove into a net?<br/> Planted seeds of hate<br/> from within me?<br/> <br/> I thought the sudden jolt <br/> was a current of light<br/> Relieving me of the burden <br/> of being your new eyes<br/> But when those loving rays - <br/> - they pulled me out of mind<br/> The color gone, and blind I fell<br/> into the spoke of night
