A machine-man brought to life. Built in a world submerged. Industrial. Used. But brought to life by something unexpected. The spark, like a supernova, cascading across the ironclad skies to restore the soul of a being that had forgotten it even had one.
Elysium
Made of broken pieces
Rivers constant flow
Solar waves cascading
Colors through the dusk
Haunting overhead
Clouds beneath the world
Brought up from the depths
And set in shapes of us
Lips still treading water
Thirsty for your touch
Broken against the shoreline
Battered, beaten, tossed
Make my machine-parts steady
Kept here in this Elysium
Heights and hearts made ready
Heaven already in my grasp
Finally a complete circuit
My brain is lighting up
A ghostly voice recurring
Swelling in the dark
We build this new beginning
Break away this rust
Across the beaches still pursuing
Fighting wars and freeing lust
A deep abyss, the hum abides
A swarming in my insect heart
And you the iron in my blood
Carrying my love
I would swear this pact eternal
Keeping doom back despite the costs
Buried here beneath your coastline
Caught up here under the rocks
This is why you set me burning
Fired up this infernal hearth
To satisfy curious yearnings
A shield and sword inside this love
The spark of life inside your eyes
Elixir of life upon your tongue
The flames ignited by a kiss
The memories an ardent song
Coiled here under the surf
I am a servant of a single thought
To hold you near and make it clear
You will not ever be forgot
Pipes and twisted metal
But I'm flesh when I'm with you
Kept here in Elysium
Until the tides resume
More than the sum
Of tired bones
Of aching lungs
And ages spent in search
A wanderer made whole
A tin-man given life
A gray cloud given color
In the shape of you and I
