One foot in the dark
One foot in the light
One part day and one part night
Fallen from heaven, driven down to hell
Living a lie, provoked to rebel

Unfold my heart and you will see
Blood suspended in starlit nights
It’s beauty takes the pain from me
The shadow protects from prying eyes

One foot in the shade
One foot in the bright
One part runs and one part fights
Tattoos of anguish from a holy life
Stigmata forged within its strife
From the heat of the wave, In your shade I am saved
From demise I’m obscured
Your blessings are sure

Behold my eyes, the crack to my soul
A forlorn boy, in his blood he is slaughtered
Stick and stone that made him tremble
Candle light cast in the water

Drifting deep in the sea
Dissolved to a milky despair
A trail of white that leads
To a place where no one can hurt him there
Falling…
Drowning…
Floating…
Rising…
Seeking…
Coming…
Appearing…
Returning up high in the vastness of motion
Flowing as one in the power of the ocean
The heat of light consumes my being
When the sadistic sun carries out its will
The shadowed love of clouds above
Release my storm in an aqua spill

To some I’m death
To some I’m life
One part day
One part night
