my alabaster cities

Kingdom sands,

oh castle‘s prince

my crying eyes

can not believe

My erewhon among the stars

Destroyed, destroyed, for naught but clouds

These babylonic columns can not hold

The weight I bear, a lie

My alabaster cities

built on concrete in the night

My sleeping beauty cityscape

behind curtained skies, a sea of clouds

A dawn most overwhelming

In my spirit, eyes and heart

A window in the clouds I see

It calls upon my gaze at dawn

repatriate the deadest views

in funerary crypts

I suck the honey off your blackened lips

For talking through the veil

Springtime birds don‘t go to war

Please sing us songs of winds that chime
