Awake at Time's End

Terrified of all my thoughts
Jackal eyes and crushing dark
Phantoms ride the howling wind
Trying to snuff the fire out
Burn the witching out of me
Sing of timeless suffering
To keep the sky from closing in
To keep the hills from swallowing
Rouse the dreamer from their sleep
The warmth alone lagoons with me
Sand to count until we die
Stars to map and name the sea
When you first came I dreamed of snow
Though I've never seen it before
A clear-burnt sound within my soul
An echoing of what we were
If war were a long lost memory
A past sun-beam and distant grief
War a future far removed
Snow to form the jagged peaks
War is riding on the wind
War will soon be swallowing
War will snuff the fire out
Wail us to the earth again
God, demon, holy or man
Try, fail, to kill me again
Blood, heat, a torn out of the sand
Try, fail, to kill me again
Hell, Eden, wicked touches
Try, fail, to kill me again
Cry, scream, blistering pain
Try, fail, to kill me again
Burn out the eyes (From ash grown swan)
Bring down the skies (A seed survived)
Drown her in sand (The sand grown rice)
Rip off her wings (The swallow's flight)
