chariot

only the moon can hear my plea
underneath the silver tree
with every fiber in full bloom
by this vision i'm consumed

shining beacon in the night
my eyes devour your firelight
of all the endings i have seen
we are united in my dream

on bright wings to ferry
come chariot, carry
the stars for which we aim
set heavens and my heart aflame
ride like the tempest and whisk me away
wake me, take me, today

growing fierce and visceral
beyond the ephemeral
the sensations we effuse
and a brazen wish set loose

around a truth our souls revolve
behind the walls that soon dissolve
and description we defy
let us tear down the sky

on bright wings to ferry
come chariot, carry
the stars for which we aim
set heavens and my heart aflame
ride like the tempest and whisk me away
wake me, take me, today
