Shine

Fleet-foot riders you are/moonscape skylarks you/fearless highlanders of life.

Highways calling you/music playing/we glide upon the tides.

Higher frequency like a/melody weaves through me/driving straight to the heart.

No vast distance is too far/to make your life an art.

Shining - we are shining - dying - we rise.

Though the wisdom of this world is seldom clear to see/ there’s a rumble in this jungle that is yet to be /while people wear their scars like stars on the inside.

The mystery of ages is the paradox/ we stand before the Autumn Equinox.

Where life is brutal, there we are beautiful how crucial (is) the deep.

Sledge ride through a snowy forest/tail lights flickering on and off.

A sail might help but we’re skidding on a riverbed shooting past the picnic spread.

On our way to the source of the stream/stars in our eyes/scars in between.

Bombed-out shelters we are/ bare-fist fighters out of line.

Nicknack-paddywack heading for a heart attack.

Halflings/ spirit and flesh – nothing and

Everything, everyone no one (but we're)

Shining- shining - Dying - we rise.

When the uninvited dramas are killing you/ know that these abrasions are healing you.

The seasons turn differently on the other side of time.

When life’s Neanderthals have chewed you to the bone/know that we're not stranded home alone.

Where life is brutal, there we are beautiful how crucial (is) the deep.

We don’t look like any super model/ we don't have anything formalised /

Don't speak legalese/pretty please try not to cast aspersions.

Do not screw us into a jam jar/ we’re neither as sweet nor as green as you think that we are.

It took a long time to fit no category/ (it's) been a long boat to china.

Ninety out of ten I make the same statistical error,

all I know is I’m shining/reflecting you reflecting me.

Yeah we're Shining - shining - Dying we rise.

Though the reasons of this world are seldom clear to see/ there's a rumble in the jungle that is yet to be/ While people wear their scars like stars on the inside/ The secret of the ancients is in the paradox/ we stand before the Autumn Equinox.

Where life is brutal/there we are beautiful/ how fertile is the deep.
