The Other Side

Guardian angel
Out in a land of ash and snow
Here are the faithful
The overthown
The overflow
Guardian angel
Give me your hand, that I may know
What have I been saved for
Help me know just where to go
Now that my guiding light is low
Do I fight
Or do I crystallize
Don’t start praying for the other side
You know there’s no use trying to rush that violence
We freeze like rabbits in the hills and sky
And a whole world open with eyes like diamonds
Fixed on the promise of horizon lines
While the owl is our seeker who flies in silence
Guardian angel
Whisper the names gone long ago
My vanishing saviors
Who rose alone
And cast no stone
Now that I’m lighting my shadow
Do I fight
Or do I crystallize
Don’t start praying for the other side
You know there’s no use trying to rush that violence
We freeze like rabbits in the hills and sky
And a whole world open with eyes like diamonds
Fixed on the promise of horizon lines
While the owl is our seeker who flies in silence
Blessed are the meek who shout ourselves alive
With only one second but it’s always timeless
