lyrics

When the Rorschach test behind your eyelids asked you what you saw
You looked to the white beyond
You dared to stare straight into the sun
When the boatman for the river Styx
Came to take you asea
You gave him the slip
And made sure to tip him
As you stole backwards towards the sun

And you cried,
(You cried )
“I’ll shoot all the stars down
For I am
I am the lightning
And the thunder replied
“Reign me in, Valentine
For you are..."
"I am the lightning."

["If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one."]

May your secret world of idioms
Protect you till kingdom come
May your will be done
While your threads are spun
By hands that are not your own

Reign me in
Reign me in
Reign me in
Reign me in

["In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."]

And you cried,
(You cried )
“I’ll shoot all the stars down
For I am
I am the lightning
And the thunder replied
“Reign me in, Valentine
For you are..."
"I am the lightning."
