bide their time in quiet peace
Await their place within the ring of calm
Still stand to turn in seconds of release
Await the call they know may never come
In times of lightness
no intruder dared upon
To jeopardize the course upset the world
And all was joy and hands
were raised toward the sun
As love in the halls of plenty world
Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast
Unending dances shadowed on the day
Within their walls
their daunting formless keep
Preserved their joy
and kept their doubts at bay
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep
Just turn a coin
bring order to the fray
And everything is soon no sooner
thought than deed
But no one seemed to question in anyway
How keen the storied hunters eye
prevails upon the land
To seek the unsuspecting and the weak
And powerless the fabled sat
too smug to lift a hand
Toward the foe that threatened from the deep
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those
who saddened stand
Adrift upon a sea of futile speech
And to fall to fate
and make the status plan
Where was your word
where did you go
Where was your helping
where was your bow bow
Dull is the armour cold is the day
Hard was the journey
dark was the way way
I heard the word
I couldn't stay oh
I couldn't stand it
another day another day
Another day another day
Touched by the timely coming
Roused from the keeper's sleep
Release the grip
throw down the key
Held now within the knowing
Rest now within the peace
Take of the fruit
but guard the seed
They had to stay
Held now within the knowing
Rest now within the beat
Take of the fruit
guard the seed...
