Sequence VIII: Styx

Sunlight is drowning in the halflight
As the feelings return
Strange and familiar a nocturnal fear
Appearing and disappearing

There is a river running deep
And it is floating through the veins
A nameless dread of the unknown
Temporary sight an apprehension
Vague yet saddening

Black angles guiding me
The sum of all my fears
Black angels owning me
Whispering through me

The ties are loosening

Black angels guiding me
Me
Into the wordless, into neverless

All sights and sounds slowly dissolve
No gravity, no memory

Faroff stars in the Afterglow
A god removes the veil
I'm holding in and i'm holding it out
Until the strangeness disappear

Last night i heard the water dreaming
Stones were fast asleep along the riverbed

Let the waters wash all over me and let me dream again
Of something good

Let me dream of sheltered places of precious moments
And of long-lost faces of truthful words that finally do make some sense

Lay out these maps before me
Let me trace again the borderlines of land and sea

Flood the tide pools and wash away the shore
No longer at the mercy of the waves just let me breath again

Let me stand and bathe in the healing light
And one more time let me navigate just let me navigating by the stars

Roads and rivers are winding in a circle
Around the same old headstrong me
Outside looking in time and time again
Feeling the heat of a recurring dream
