Sunset Time

Once in every trillion years
God does shed a single tear
Burning in the atmosphere
The glow as lovely as the raining

Set adrift in the endless fear
That what we are is never clear
I don't need to know how we got here
To know that you were worth creating

Your bones contain the meaning
Belief without believing
The hymn of faith is being
You

Juliana

Reach through my skin
With your perfect hands
Tell me I am something
That I don't believe I am
Wander through my alleyways
Acquaint with all my thieves
Pick citrus from my orchards
Then rest in my dead leaves

If I could sing you off to sleep
This is what that song would be
I won't let you go

I want to read every page
And then start again
I want to hate your enemies
And love all your friends
I'll clean all the windows
In your little shop downtown
When it's time to lock the doors at night
We'll be more than what we found

If I could take you somewhere safe
This is the song that I would play
I won't let you go

The Defeat of the Emerald Weapon

It's a word, It's a phrase
It's a song, It's a place
It's a scent, familiar face
It's a breeze on a perfect day

It's a birth, it's a wedding
It's a joke that I'm forgetting
It's what I didn't say now I'm regretting
It's the eerie calm as the sun is setting

My world keeps getting colder
As your fire begins to smolder
Though this pain is never over
I thought I felt your hand on my shoulder

Yes it hurts, it always does
It's a cruel world without your love
But when I'm here, like a drug
I find comfort in the burning blood

It's a reminder that you're still living in my blood
