Promises In Stone And Fire

Oh, how could have been the nights

When I, hushed at your side,

(Inside a Hell in white)

Would frail to keep a single flame alive…

And fragile were my words

A promise without worth

Carved into stone and earth

Above a silken shadow print of hope…

… And future vows…

Never had I seen the Gods hide at duskfall

Never had I felt such solitude

Nor grace coalesce with a devilish nemesis

As the moon waned in horror of the funerals to come

… Of one that hat begun undone

But shone a score more than the sun

Artemis, oh Artemis

How could your eye not foresee this?

Save me a prayer, save a kiss

Before you leave to black horizons

Artemis, oh Artemis

Though like a sign in storms aspired

For Death and sweeter reveries

I scream my promises in stone and fire

New moon was tolled and she was told

To shadow her cruel hunting

And their affair beneath divine stares

Was but the stairs that led to war

See the blood spoil over a sickle

As she faints so broke and dizzy

I deemed you immortal

To order cosmic plans

From birth to Death those waters

Crashed in glass moments

Leto, has she helped you?

Hear the comets cry

And fall as fiery mortar

To prison those who died

Burn, burn my agonies

Incense my feeble pleas

Of grace and lunar daze

As thunders roar and fall for thee

Though planets lost their way

Of war, lust and disgrace

To just befoul hearts mazed by graves

I shall brave torments

Never had I seen the Gods fear the sun rise

Never did I greet it as a long lost friend

As when embedded, spearheaded my emerald passed

Heading new directions to eternity skies

It was the ill-will of this dying world

That stole you from my arms

But this I swear shall be there

Each night to guide your starlight dance

A stillborn silhouette that twinkles from the frost that crept

That eve

Sealing sublime constellations

… Thou art now immortal

Thou art now immortal
