You bought a star in the sky tonight
Because your life is dark and it needs some light
You named it after me, but I’m not yours to keep
Because you’ll never see, that the stars are freeOh we don’t own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don’t know that by now
Then you don’t know me that well
- Marina & the Diamonds-
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead-
A kite above a graveyard grey
At the end of the line far far away
A child holding on to the magic of birth and aweOh, how beautiful it used to be
Just you and me far beyond the sea
The waters, scarce in motion
Quivering stillAt the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long-lived
Here, weary traveller rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyesGood journey, love, time to go
I checked your teeth and warmed your toes
In the horizon I see them coming for youThe mermaid grace, the forever call
Beauty in spyglass on an old man’s porch
The mermaids you turned loose brought back your tears
-Nightwish-
Intrusive Igneous Rocks
You told me that they ask you
crowns of gold and silver
castles of marble and emerald
tears of pearls and diamonds
I love diamonds
as they shine in the morning light
as they beckon your eyes on my hand
as they glitter with purity and innocence
But I don’t ask you for anything
for all the gifts you may bestow to me
I thank you
But I don’t ask you for anything
but the infinite horizon
but the mountain’s side
but the lonely plains
I can live without feathers and silks
I can live without computers and phones
I can live without cars and airplanes
But I cannot exist without
those luscious green forests
those unattainable snowy peaks
those ever gushing mountain rivers
the air in my lungs
the sunlight on my skin
the wind in my hair
If you want to woo me
If you want to court me
If you want to seduce me
Forget about those ecologically destructive roses
Forget about those blood stained diamonds
Forget about those polluting glittering cars
Give me hope for this world
Give me care for this world
Give me fuel to save this world
The destruction
The toxic clouds
The wasted rivers
The blood spilling from her heart
The darkness spilling in her eyes
The fumes gathering into her bosom
My life is tied to hers
My heart is tied to hers
My existence is tied to hers
Just like yours
Just like ours
Just like theirs
Greedy
Fools
Corrupted
They say that soon
we will need ten planets
we will need a miracle
we will need magic
to survive in this
destructive
toxic
selfish
lifestyle.
We are the damned generation
We are the zombie sheep generation
We are the foolish selfish generation
Let it all burn
Let it all overflow
Let it all melt
Does it really matter?
As long as I can enjoy my favorite tv show
As long as i can lie inside my warm bed
As long as I can buy buy buy buy
Buy the stars
Buy the galaxies
Buy the universe
And let’s see if you can really own it.
A small little comet
A small little splash
A small little giant tsunami
And we’ll see what matters
And we’ll see what happens
And we’ll see who survives
There won’t be anyone left to twitter
There won’t be anyone left to poke
There won’t be anyone left to like
Let’s see who will comment on your status
Let’s see who will comment on your wall
Let’s see who will comment on your pictures
Pictures of decay
Pictures of destruction
Pictures of dismay
Then maybe you’ll see that what doesn’t matter are
All those rotten luxuries
All those selfish comforts
All those needless desires
Or maybe you won’t
Therefore,
Don’t give me things
Don’t give me poison
Don’t give me plague
Silence.
Oh well,
It seems I silenced you
It seems I scared you
It seems I’ve desiccated you
Flee
Run
Hide
Too bad for you.
I’m looking for a warrior
I’m looking for a savior
I’m looking for a human
And I will not shut up
Until the truth is in your eyes
Until the reality is in your eyes
Until the resolve is in your eyes
To fight for Us.
Side by side
Back to back
arm to arm
Fight for freedom
Fight for Truth
Fight for beauty
for our world
from us
from humanity
from inhumanity
for us
for them
for her.
If you can’t realize it
If you can’t see it
If you can’t understand it
forget about me.
My intensity scares you
your neutrality dismay me.
My passion fighters you
your apathy appalls me.
My steadfastness startles you
your indifference sickens me.
Mayhap,
we should part way
we should shake hands
we should say farewell
I cannot live without pondering
I cannot live without reacting
I cannot live without fighting
Whether it’s with my words
Whether it’s with my actions
Whether it’s with my keyboard
One way or the other
We have to resist
We have to withstand
We have to stand up
or else
Molten rocks
Gushing magma
Intrusive igneous rocks
And silence.
