Kingdom of the Shades Songtext

von In Gowan Ring

Without paper without ink
Would you set out to think
A song that never was sung
With words that were not spoken
On lines that have not hung
The signs that leave no token
Stray with me the strands of intricate layers
Strong and swift, swim within this stream

Within the whorls that blink
About an infinite ocean
Stars grow and shrink
Collapsing in slow motion With all the world you spin
Stay with me the spell of a lucid motion To charm the noumenous deep
Calm and sweet, swim within this dream In bone and blood and skin
A story safe in keep
Sway with me in swing of alternate weather
Strong and swift, swim within this stream

Wide word in tone will speak
Beyond a strange commotion
In thought that gathers and leaks
Strains of cogent notion
Lay with me in swoon of elaborate feather
Calm and sweet, swim within this dream

Without ink without paper
Would you set out to taper
A song that never was sung
With words that were not spoken
On lines that have not hung
The signs that leave no token
Play with me in fields of nebulous cover
Strong and swift, swim within this stream
