Her Majesty

She was waiting there for me
Sunken deep beneath the sea
India fell for Asia
Took their vows, formed Himalaya
And her majesty arose
Savage heights casting shadows
He was waiting there for me
Sunken deep beneath the sea
Each time I looked I felt envy
For her elegant uprising
And her majesty arose
Savage heights casting shadows
She was waiting there for me
Sunken deep beneath the sea
Surrender now, the hour is late
She'll annihilate all those who oppose
She'll celebrate as her shadow grows
And her majesty arose
Savage heights casting shadows

Never thought I'd be dethroned
Swept away, cast aside, and overthrown
Alone
I caught a drift of the evening sky
Dreams fulfilled went passing by, I died
Into a hole we never fill
In your absence I do find
That you're always on my mind
All things in their own time
Sunshine, oh sunshine
Her words are lovely in the morn
Bring me back to poetry, I plea
I will bring this boat ashore
All this silence slaughters me
Fled by fire, burnt by the sea
Rid me of this stern, this oar
In your absence I do find
That you're always on my mind
All things in their own time
Sunshine, oh sunshine
Cascade, you keep many secrets

Something's amiss
And you're feeling faint
A long lost kiss
So you need a saint
Where's your saint?
Amongst the waters
I am tossed and turned, tossed and turned
Can they see that I,
I am lost and burned, lost and burned?
She gathers jewels down in the deep
When they're polished in her knees she weeps
This child, her archangel keeps
Don't fear the sea
When it's not calm
Just join the fleet
And we'll sail along

No Mercy

They came at night
Just to whisper in your ear
Clawed up your bedpost
Trusting you the most
To lend you all of their fears
Don't you stop dreaming now
Cause you had a nightmare
Jealousy's not allowed
When they live in despair
You long for sleep
But it's hard to when you're scared
Told you out of spite
Can't distinguish shade from light
Don't you stop dreaming now
Cause you had a nightmare
Jealousy's not allowed
When they live in despair
They'll come tonight thinking you're asleep
But you're no longer scared
As they whisper, sink your blade into hearts deep
Now they reap their own nightmare
Don't you stop dreaming now
Cause you had a nightmare
Jealousy's not allowed
When they live in despair
Won't you smile as you see them buried
By the homeless in a cemetery
Go to sleep, wake up early
Purge yourself, feeling dirty
Lean in to whisper
There's no mercy for the dream killers

The Poison

In the silence I was born
Keep the secret, solemnly sworn
As the night settled in, demons began to stir
All things stayed as they were
In the pale winter morning
There's no song for the birds to sing
Wishing that summer would bring back it's thunder
All things stayed as they were
Out of anger and endless pride
You spilled right over, bottled up inside
So what holds more water; love or being sure?
All things stayed as they were
Drink the poison, sit and wait
For them to perish, but that's your fate
Feeling extra dizzy, memory starts to blur
All things stayed as they were

Trying to escape from this burdened soul
Felt a year older every time that I stole
Trying to escape from this heavy heart
Make them look stupid so that I can feel smart
Become the love you wish for your life
As hard as I tried, it seemed to remind
That I would lie
And I would be sly
And I would fall from paradise
And I would imply
And I would feign shy
And I would always think twice
Trying to escape from this broken body
Bent over backwards left me feeling guilty
Trying to escape from this weary mind
Keep your words, thoughts, and actions aligned
Become the love you wish for your life
With little rain I wonder, where's the sunshine?
That I would lie
And I would be sly
And I would fall from paradise
And I would imply
And I would feign shy
And I would always think twice
Decisions you make affect your life
Forfeit the right to choose if you don't think twice

Harpy Lady

It was heard by a thousand
From the echo off the mountain
A sound so sweet and lovely
Just to drink from the fountain
They hurried down the mountain
With great speed, a stampede
When we're fueled by desire
When we've put out the fire
We're left in need, so thirsty
Make my ears bleed
Harpy lady sing
Went to drink from the fountain
Was joined there by the drowning
Began to see the bodies
Ventured to the forest
Was led there by a chorus
Careless and free, little fairies
Gathered around her throne
Built of sticks and stones
There sat the queen, beautiful indeed
Make my ears bleed
Harpy lady sing
Didn't think I was a beggar
Too deaf to hear the whispers
Of mutiny and envy
Enemies, to the sea she throws
Blue skies, cool breeze, and meadows
Such memories, they're fleeting
