lyrics

The Ruse:

Someone please wake me from this ruse
Its been wrapped around me for too long
In the cradle it slipped away, it’s come back
Shadows me to old age

Someone please tear off this failing skin
It’s a hindrance and burden to wear
In the past it played the part, it’s sliding down now
To cryptic things beneath

Someone please splinter the doorway
Rip me from this fucking dream I’m in
In the absence of hollow, shadow slips away
Mystic ruse starts to fray

Moving slowly towards the moment
When all this bleeds together
Beyond the ridge of timeless
And endless moons

Hear the rising voices pleading
Awash in all that’s done
Looking to the horizon
Into a dying Sun

Pass Elara, onto Charon
Away from the dying Sun
Beyond the ridge of whatever was
Toward Andromeda

Falling through the hour glass
Only dust in the dessert
Red Giant just a speck
Weightless, obscured and lost

Still the moon will rise and show itself tonight
And the shadows will take to flight
And the moon will fade into the light
As the sun swallows up the night
Shake me, wake me - Rip me from this dream that I’m in
