lyrics

i really cant remmeber nor recall
when i came or when i left
the yellow king of the faded halls
am i a tourist or a passenger?
was i ever there at all?
are these dreams or memories?
the notes in the sketches are fading, laughing now
RISE.BLACK.STAR.KING.

burning the city before it was built
bury the children alive
plucking the flower before it could wilt
...a tear stuck in her eye

ink could never stain mosaic time
events that didn't but so did occur
the present now and the past-to-be
colors intermingling
am i waking now here to tell?
or bear a ripple in the frozen time?
spiraling down ever toward
future... present... now...
