in the midst of the dark devouring night
walking a circuit no end in sight
haphazard grip on an unwritten song
thoughts twisting and turning
to see what went wrong
tossed through time and space
lost in life and faith
dizzy from circles i keep spinning
i’ve got to know what gives
and keeps dreamers from winning
come upon a ghastly haven
images on tombstones graven
there i saw the blackest raven
“fly away you fly too high for me
images you give are true
though shaded might they be
i’m just a member of the human flock
don’t cast your spell on me”
“i’ve come to you
now bare your plight
whereupon i will take flight
fear not what you cannot see
for it is not nor will ever be”
“if what i want
is what i’m not
and what is not
will never be
the future seems
quite dark to me…
you see i’m
tossed through time and space
lost in life and faith
dizzy from circles i keep spinning
and i’ve got to know what gives
and keeps dreamers from winning
suddenly it dawned on me
the horizon is
as far as you can see
