The Garden Of All Things Wild

I have come from the valley

This track runs deep

Darkness overcome

Still the hill grows steep

I’ve believed all my demons

And the filth they’ve preached

I’ve awoken from that sleep

Now the summit I will reach

And see the field

Swarmed by scarlet light

I enter these novel meadows

Brimmed with vanes and folk

Praised by harlots and jesters

As a king foretold

Ruling over morrow and yester

I possess all but gold

Malignant or benign

All who lived would align

To feast and dine

Drenched pyres with wine

In the garden of earthly delights

A place for all things wild

The garden of earthly delights

My eden

Love and lust be my guide

Who’s this creature before me

Known unto none

Sister of nightly moth

She worships the sun

With the beauty of a goddess

And wings fiery red

She stared into my soul

And awoke what I thought was dead

Her flight took to the sky

But in time she would be mine

From that moment on, I did yearn

Deeply prayed for her return

Ever did I seek her trail

By the flowers she kissed

One early dusk she sat sail

This time my grip did not miss

I poured her into a vessel cold

As her wings struck glass

Accepting the bold threshold

We both found rest, at last

The dawn was filled with regret

For morrow had brought death

From my queen all life had gone

Oh my poor sweet child

Now my own heaven’s denied

Oh my God, what have I done

I buried her in my hands

With the pity death demands

My tears fell unto her flesh

A motion, an act

Her wings moved, death was cracked

Forgiveness was mine

In one last kiss goodbye

To love you I must set you free

Never fully close my grip

Hope you return, come and rest with me

In my life of all things wild

To love me you must choose the sky

Along with the wind you need to fly

But come rest close to me

And captivate me

In our garden of all things wild
