Dusk - The Banner

You arms that take

Your arms invertebrate

Venomous, constricting and cold

Blood warms to life

Tongue flickers in time

Vibrations awaken your soul

The mind sheds away

You circle, break, swerve and stay

You stare so deep, you rise so tall

You gently sway, your silhouette writhes and plays

Its poison up on the wall

Drumming hearts they sync and then slow

You whisper songs of peace and of home

Whisper promise though don’t show what you see

When those black diamonds stare straight through to me

Flicker in time

Gently entwine

Daggers slide sharper than pain

Rise up, around

Liquid and vapor

A warmth that creeps up through my veins

Now is your time

And ive walked this line

While you slid down deep in my soul

I fade away as you breathe your song heavy

And i take my show on the road

Slide on black racer, slide on
