Prayer

[Bacchus]

I see a thousand words before me
The ground is so far away
This wind below me takes
Shape like candles in the night
And into the city
Where a hundred people lay dormant.
Silent screams
Caress every brick;
She takes the flame,
Carries it through.
Her father?s footprints
The only traces
Of the love she once knew.
Across the fields where the water
Flows like blood in her veins
Sleeps the ghost of man
She holds so?
Her eyes black as coal
Lead him through a tunnel,
Lights so dim he can?t follow.
The only guide to his steps
Is the sound of her heartbeat.
The hum in his ears,
He whispers her name:
His only prayer

She holds so?
Her eyes black as coal
Lead him through a tunnel,
Lights so dim he can?t follow.
The only guide to his steps
Is the sound of her heartbeat.
The hum in his ears,
He whispers her name:
His only prayer...

wonder how I missed this one in the first place? thanks Bacchus


------------------
but for the grace of love I'd will the meaning of heaven from above...

Silent screams
