Shadowy wings struggling through black mists
Muddy clouds conceal the sun
While a girl is waiting there
Where the sky meets the tip of the old oak tree
Where the wind covers the earth
And fire dances in its hearth

Bring me happiness she tells the bird
So I can colour black, bald earth
Bring me the light of thousand stars
So I can heal all grey, old hearts
Fly far, move fast and swift
The weight of Darkness help me lift

And Raven flew, wet through the clouds
Through shredded glass and empty crowds
Across the icy ocean fire
Above the fields of sticky mire

I thought that if I woke
Early
I might just catch a glimpse of you
Leaving

Hunger was digging into her soul
Beauty was crawling up her limbs
Roses were clenching thorn covered fists
Madness filled the fiery hole

Heaven and earth threw bullets of ice
Ashen winds covered the skies
Wet sun washed colors away
She was still bound by blood dripping chains

Grey wind rustling through
leaves
Ash falling
down
from the skies
Tears splashing over
stones
Feet treading
on fire
Crows crying in the
shadows
Soldiers fighting
battles
Hearts beating
slowly
Stop.

Sandy ashes on the stone
Where the cold fire had died
Where once mighty flames had shone
A foggy dawn after the night

Old sun was gazing down in awe
Upon the ashes grey as wind
And suddenly a fiery claw
Escaped the unforgiving grip

And as the rain sang chilly tunes
Trying to suffocate the pain
The ashes on the sandy dunes
Released the coals hiding within
And mighty Phoenix rose again.

Last night I dreamed of fire,
it was cold and flickering softly.
In the moonlight by the shore,
stood a man that was Darkness,
Night was dripping from his shoulders.

But he would not tend the fire, his mistress.
No matter how hard she begged,
her flames lingering in the night.
Crying softly, haunting tunes.
Water crashing on the dunes.

Icy, chilly, burning lifeless.
There it shone into the night,
under Darkness' cruel sight.
Fading, crawling in despair,
and alone she died, no care.
