A Soul's Journey

Restless, conflicted and broken
Naked, before you I stand
Consumed by what was and what never shall pass
Hair cascading down my back

Silent tears I refuse to spill
Your touch inflaming my flesh
A heart once wide open, bound now in chains
Hesitate, then embrace

Pain for the loss, for the wounds on my soul
Reflections of me in your eyes
So cold is the silence that reigns now inside
Your kiss awakening my soul

My soul, my soul flies in raven-cloaked glory
Alight on the wings of my dreams
Carried away by your sweet song of hope
For nothing exists as it seems

Who are you that hides when you stare in my face
I yield myself to your desire
Telling me I’m just a piece of myself
Illuminating, inspired

Memories stirred plague my dreams through the night
Wandering hands fan the flames
Deafening silences bounce round my room
Everything, everything
Everything, everything
Everything, all falls away

My soul, my soul flies in raven-cloaked glory
Alight on the wings of my dreams
Carried away by your sweet song of hope
For nothing exists as it seems

Alone one more night, alive one more day
As one, all the world fades away
I turn up my face to the sun and the sky
And fly away, fly far away

My soul, my soul flies in raven-cloaked glory
Alight on the wings of my dreams
Carried away by your sweet song of hope
For nothing exists as it seems

My soul, my soul flies in raven-cloaked glory
Whispers of hatred now fade
Carried away by your sweet song of hope
Into the future I’ve made
And into the future I fade
