Dragon:
The paranoid quest
For the spider of time
Led me to the nest of dreams
Where everything is
what it means, what it seems
Here truth drops are dripping
from the sad stalagmites
of the night sky.
Undeserved silences are pinned on my skin
Like medals for an ongoing battle
The child made of stars slowly shapes up
He's moved by the silk of the spider
Child:
I know why you're crying
Cold-blooded beast
Mournful Black dragon
As old as the sea
Dragon:
Save me if you can
Turn me into a man
Dragon:
Free me from myself
Child:
Oh, Dragon
Dragon:
As nothing seems to matter
Child:
Limitless not free,
That's what you are meant to be
Dragon:
Lost in the Dreamers’ Nest
Lost, in a demon’s jest
Lost, Dreaming without rest
Lost, A curse that tomorrow casts
Dragon:
I don't know hope, I don’t know fear
I barely know what is Now, what is Here
Cities rise up, empires fall down
All around just a silent sound
Child:
Obsidian Dragon
How so naive?
Your mere existence
Is what makes me real
Dragon:
Hear my burning cry
Please just let me die
Child:
(I) Can’t save you from yourself
Dragon:
Please, master
Child:
You’re spirit and you’re matter
Dragon/Child:
Limitless not free,
Child:
That's what you are meant to be,
Dragon:
That’s what I’m meant to be
Child:
Ghost of the dreamer's nest
(The Moment is what lasts forever)
Dragon:
Lost, in a demon’s jest
(I sense I’m close to the answer)
Child:
Ghost of the Orion’s belt
(The Moment is now and is never)
Dragon:
Lost, The immortals cannot rest!
Child:
The immortals cannot rest!
Dragon:
It's almost dawn
The child is dying
The spider bites
His pulsar heart,
The scene is strange
So close, yet so far
A nova explodes
from the neutron star
Dragon/Child:
Time has been stabbed in the heart
Dragon/Child:
The universe goes back to the start
Child:
You see, you are close to the answer
Dragon/Child:
And I’m included and secluded at once
Child:
The moment is what lasts forever
Dragon/Child:
I can feel myself becoming stars
Dragon/Child:
Now, now I can see,
Child:
The moment is now and it’s never
Dragon/Child:
I’m the moment, I’m eternal, I’m free,
Dragon/Child:
Now, now I can see
Dragon/Child:
That the child, the child is me!
