Tyranny - The Leaden Stream lyrics

rate me

I dream for the equable hour<br />

and the dream became a river<br />

a stream of running lead<br />

I felt its timeless flow<br />

and its ageless strain<br />

to burden me I sat on the grey bank<br />

sand I watched passing of waves<br />

And the stream bore a body<br />

pale and quiescent wench<br />

a bride came with the tides<br />

eyes open unseeing<br />

were of same colour as the stream<br />

I pondered this solemnly<br />

And the earth shook my thoughts<br />

and the river went running red<br />

as a mountain falling heavy<br />

a hoof struck the ground<br />

I turned to see<br />

and behold<br />

spanning from horizon<br />

to zenith of the sky<br />

a mare rearing its legs<br />

foremost reaching above clouds<br />

hinder trampling the earth<br />

casting an ancient rhythm<br />

and this earth resounds...
