The Dragon's Gold
Along the dragon's back
Down by the verdant steppe
Binaural stones that skip
Across river's deep and black
A preternatural aura
Animism brought to bear
Caught in a primal rhythm
With our spirits left to bare
A fuzz that grow'eth here
A deep and sacred rock
Cavern of our prayers
A place of dancing in the dark
Hear the drum beats lift
The torches touch the sky
Bringing embers to these lips
Burning chains of these empires
Listless I remember
The babbling of the brook
The feeling underwater
And how our bodies shook
Wandering through vine-lands
Sailing to distant shores
To seek spices lost and foreign
To speak to each other in new tongues
Put under I remember
Baptized by this spell
Under duress I will speak of
The only truths that I can tell
Spilling through forests like the wind
Along the mossy stones of old
To find this monolith still standing
Monument rising to touch the sun
If my voice is but a whisper
Remember what I've said
Of places without angels
Where the sane would never tread
Of a monastery ancient
Beyond the highest peaks
Where the Lady of the Winter
Has a voice that never sleeps
Never pledge your silence ever
For that fire is your strength
Restrain yourself from violence
Though the trials doth repeat
A heart that beat'eth here
In these ritual reminders
A voice resounding clear
In the plains or in the highlands
In vivid shades I can't describe
I saw your spirit move and build
And fell in love with all your walls
Against affections, enemies and hordes
Sky above, it swallows me
I am dissolved into the ether
Brought low and somehow lifted up
Saved by this breaking fever
Spilling through fingers I am unwound
Grasping for air and still entwined
The favor of a goddess found
A deepened twilight now aligned
With constellations retrograde
Intentions anything but vague
Equal parts of give and take
A supplication I must make
I have read the leaves that fall
And come to fear the dragon's maw
Down by the tunes and notes I played
The songs I made for sweeter days
That deeply cherished cityscape
Within a vision wrapped in fog
Forbidden and forsaken lands
Beyond the reach of elder gods
Here we kissed and said those words
In pools beneath we were submerged
With gilded touch these idols blazed
Our idle hearts remaining dazed
A dissolution memorized
Pathways burned with neural lines
Tracing every star
Navigation at the ready
Each footfall sinks into the Earth
Rushing up to catch my fall
Wisps like fairy-fire form
And guide me here beside you
These deep desires light the skies up
Against a canvas of oblivion
I catch you like a lightning strike
With storm-clouds overflowing
Feral I feel it overloading
Set free and sailing evermore
A full circuit that must be completed
Circumnavigation of this globe
United we have built this beacon
Pilfering the dragon's gold
Under duress I confess these oaths
The only truth I've ever told
