Nephilim From the Sky

I'm not a guru or a messiah I have no answers here
Outside of just being another dweller who is near
I can't deliver you from your pain
But brother, but don’t let yourself go insane,

Let me gather a little momentum in the darkness
There are things over which you should never obsess
Oh little starry princess you I will not even try to possess
Will I ever come together and coalesce?

There are things I wish I could have said
To the living and also to the dead
All the things I've memorized and have read
All those diverse voices in my head,

She never really cared now I know
Like buried tracks in new fallen snow
The distant screeching of a crow
The realizations always come too slow,

Wish I had definite wisdom to share
As if anyone really cared
We are all living in our personal nightmares
Some heart breaking memories I just can't bear,

There are places you should never go

Things you would be better off not to know

Like objects in the night sky that glow

Like walking out on your loved ones in the snow,

Those tormented thoughts like bitter echoes

Like trying to remove a bloody arrow

Persistent recollections from long ago

She dances out of nowhere just as the wind blows,

I’m aboard that ship now

Headed for the forbidden isle somehow

The angel of death steers from the bow

A place where free thought is not allowed,

The “Cold War” was never really gone

It’s just that expectations finally moved on

No way to simply forget about it at the salon

Trying to anticipate the next Black Swan,

Ever more my exile seems guaranteed

Fate has planted my poisoned seed

Fatalism, my role as lead

When did we unleash the unholy creed?

Fallen angels and the Nephilim from the sky

Praying to lifeless idols buried nearby

I can still see her in my mind’s eye

Still casting shadows until the day she dies.
