The Dark Side of The Moon


I am disappearing just for tonight

I must not be followed this time

There are angry dragons that I must slay

To ensure my own peace of mind

I promise I'll return in time

 

The dark side of the moon is always hidden

We naturally wonder why

The monsters come out of their closets

And wounded souls go there to cry

I'm travelling there to find my secrets

To count the things I won't tell

Everything's changed since I found myself

On the dark side of the moon

 

One's ignorance is staggering

When his watch's cogs rust still

And when life tries to oil them

Resistance is met at will

His future's at the bottom of the hill

 

I force myself to face my demons

And order them to leave

Show no fear, nor screams will they hear

Though by no means is it easy

A great war cry escapes me

 

Afterwards I converse with monsters

As we sit and stare at the earth

They ask me, "A penny for your thoughts."

"The darkness is beautiful for what it's worth."

I return in my state of rebirth
