The Sun Dogs II: Coda

The secret arranged in fading light

Drifts beneath those moving lips

Surpassing televisionary musings

The harrowing clips of vicious mouths

Feeding off twice used silver spoons

Alludes to an elemental loss of engagement

The lights are dying slowly now within the pull of moving trains

In come the devils of day light and the mention of unnamely names

The ghost within the shattered woman crying out for youth and grace

Wishing she had a momentary change within her scowling face

As time passes between our wheels

In yellow stripes and blackened stones

We remember those who made our lives and changed them

The lovers who rustled like Autumn leaves

The old man dining in his tomb

And the boys who raised their drinks in merriment

With tiny movements of elegant lace that softly embrace your beautiful face

Ill climb into your royal chamber and lay upon my tired spine

And fall into the sweetest of slumbers

Wake in my lucid mind of higher and higher

Rise above the burning flames of hell fire

This could be our childhood dreams

Or what has lately seemed

The end of all sweet pleasantry, you choose which

The pressure is building slowly now

But soon it will burn up the sky

As our hands are raised for win or loss

In hopes the guns will fall

And we’ll go running to the temples

Where life is just a dollar sign

And raze the beast for all of his crimes and start anew
