Dragonfly - Cruxshadows

 

"Don't ask me to surrender"

Her voice fell tired and spent

"My hopes and dreams, a silent heart

I carry here within"

 

her outstretched wings, left tattered

A sail aged with rust

"a breath in time, that's yours and mine...

it belongs to only us"

 

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky

silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes

a host of angels clamor to her side

a light dissolves to kiss the wind

release the dragonfly

 

See the rose within the field of white

She's searching for the grail

but the rain descends to snatch the light

from distant dying suns

a faint resounding in the night

calls angels wings to beat

singing silent lip-sewn songs

but the distance is too deep ..

 

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky

silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes

a host of angels clamor to her side

a night dissolved to kiss the wind

release the dragonfly

 

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky

as precious moments will slip away in time

angels fall from grace, and sometimes heroes die

but tonight, my love, ascend the gates,

release the dragonfly

 

"sometimes angels fall, but love will never die

tonight my soul is something more" -

calls the dragonfly.

^Ugh. A ton of "Ugh".

 

I see your Cruxshadows and raise a

Citadel - Cruxshadows

 

Languid waves of desperation

fall before the rains

A vanguard to approaching war

is borne upon the sea

The icy breath of cyclones bent

on waging our destruction

Drills hard against the hearts of heroes

called here to defend

 

I see storms on the horizon

I see the tempest at the gates

I see storms on the horizon,

and a citadel alone

Clinging brave, defying fate

 

And I will stand here at the gates to face the onslaught fighting

Without surrender or defeat

With Troy besieged by tyrants' greed - (tyranny)

In Hector's memory, God willing

We shall save this victory

Without surrender or defeat

 

Sudden silence - I realize

breaking teardrops in the rain

With every breathing moment

the pillars are sustained

And waking hands attached to nothing

tightly clutching close

Each sleeping vision speaks unheard

and heaven only knows (exactly why)

 

Paris' arrow landed true

Paris' arrow landed true

Paris' arrow landed true

Down upon your heel...

 

This Troy...

she will not fall again

This Troy...

she will not fall!

It's four in the morning, the end of December

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better

New York is cold, but I like where I'm living

There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

 

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert

You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

 

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear

Did you ever go clear?

 

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older

Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder

You'd been to the station to meet every train

And you came home without Lili Marlene

 

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life

And when she came back she was nobody's wife.

 

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth

One more thin gypsy thief

Well I see Jane's awake --

 

She sends her regards.

 

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer

What can I possibly say?

I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you

I'm glad you stood in my way.

 

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me

Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

 

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes

I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

 

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear --

 

Sincerely, L. Cohen

Thank you Baley for cooling me off.

 

Mesa gonna sleep.

I do not want to know what Baley did to you to cool you off.

 

Return - Cruxshadows

 

I've seen the terrible hand of struggle

and felt the pain the hubris brings

I have tasted the wisdom of divinity

and the horror of its sting

 

And though they tell you i am lost

and their words report my death is come

the fates have left me breathing still

very much alive

 

And though my mind is cut by battles

fought so long ago

I return victorious

I am coming home

And if the paths that I have followed

have tread against the flow

there is no need for sorrow

I am coming home

 

For the distance I have traveled

upon an ocean of despair

have led me back into your arms once more

an answer to a little prayer

 

And though they tell you i am lost

and their words report my death is come

the fates have left me breathing still

very much alive

 

And though my mind is cut by battles

fought so long ago

I return victorious

I am coming home

And if the paths that I have followed

have tread against the flow

there is no need for sorrow

I am coming home

My friend and I had a conversation with the keyboardist and guitarist for these guys over a few beers after their show had ended. It was a mixture of broken Spanish on our part and broken English on theirs. My buddy is a worldly fella, so he was actually able to have a decent conversation with them about Italian politics. I mostly just smiled, nodded and listened through that part, heh.

 

I hear they are very big in Europe. Can anyone confirm or rebut this? I'm curious, because I saw them in a very small club here in the U.S.
