many lives, many homes
many names I have outgrown
ageless stalking time its
eons grind through truth and tooth and bone
dust to dust, end to toil
but for my immortal coil
shuffle on by all my sins remembered
I have dreamed an endless dream of days lost long ago
so to my eyes
all I see surrounding me are children, fools, and ghosts
long forgotten
though my time be endless
dreams can daunt the deathless
clockwork kings crook bloody fingers
so I dream my endless dream of days yet to be known
though to my mind
all I need surrounding me was dust ages ago
long forgotten
though my time be endless
dreams can daunt the deathless
clockwork kings crack bloody fingers
broken knees unbended
crooked claws extended
soul to gear but blood remembers
I have seen the valleys green, the laughing streams
I have seen the armor’s sheen, the lances’ gleam
I have seen the earth machined, the sky of steam
I have seen the final scene, the void supreme
I don’t see an end to me
encircled, encircling an
endless sea, the endless me
encircles, encircling my
enemy, an empty me
encircled, encircling
the dreaming all, eternal walls
encircle, encircle me
whip and thorn, sin and scorn, bitter borne,
wake me from this nightmare of forevermore
wind the hands, wind the heart, clockwork start
wind the soul, wind the eye, never die
life defy
