The Dragon's Gold

The Dragon's Gold

Along the dragon's back

Down by the verdant steppe

Binaural stones that skip

Across river's deep and black

A preternatural aura

Animism brought to bear

Caught in a primal rhythm

With our spirits left to bare

A fuzz that grow'eth here

A deep and sacred rock

Cavern of our prayers

A place of dancing in the dark

Hear the drum beats lift

The torches touch the sky

Bringing embers to these lips

Burning chains of these empires

Listless I remember

The babbling of the brook

The feeling underwater

And how our bodies shook

Wandering through vine-lands

Sailing to distant shores

To seek spices lost and foreign

To speak to each other in new tongues

Put under I remember

Baptized by this spell

Under duress I will speak of

The only truths that I can tell

Spilling through forests like the wind

Along the mossy stones of old

To find this monolith still standing

Monument rising to touch the sun

If my voice is but a whisper

Remember what I've said

Of places without angels

Where the sane would never tread

Of a monastery ancient

Beyond the highest peaks

Where the Lady of the Winter

Has a voice that never sleeps

Never pledge your silence ever

For that fire is your strength

Restrain yourself from violence

Though the trials doth repeat

A heart that beat'eth here

In these ritual reminders

A voice resounding clear

In the plains or in the highlands

In vivid shades I can't describe

I saw your spirit move and build

And fell in love with all your walls

Against affections, enemies and hordes

Sky above, it swallows me

I am dissolved into the ether

Brought low and somehow lifted up

Saved by this breaking fever

Spilling through fingers I am unwound

Grasping for air and still entwined

The favor of a goddess found

A deepened twilight now aligned

With constellations retrograde

Intentions anything but vague

Equal parts of give and take

A supplication I must make

I have read the leaves that fall

And come to fear the dragon's maw

Down by the tunes and notes I played

The songs I made for sweeter days

That deeply cherished cityscape

Within a vision wrapped in fog

Forbidden and forsaken lands

Beyond the reach of elder gods

Here we kissed and said those words

In pools beneath we were submerged

With gilded touch these idols blazed

Our idle hearts remaining dazed

A dissolution memorized

Pathways burned with neural lines

Tracing every star

Navigation at the ready

Each footfall sinks into the Earth

Rushing up to catch my fall

Wisps like fairy-fire form

And guide me here beside you

These deep desires light the skies up

Against a canvas of oblivion

I catch you like a lightning strike

With storm-clouds overflowing

Feral I feel it overloading

Set free and sailing evermore

A full circuit that must be completed

Circumnavigation of this globe

United we have built this beacon

Pilfering the dragon's gold

Under duress I confess these oaths

The only truth I've ever told
