In compassionate glow
Over battlements flown
I proffer my soul
To go home
.
I offer my heart
To the music of chance
Its beat fits and starts
Yet is swift to remark
On the avant-garde rhythm which sets it apart
The endings arisen to freshen next start
Unfairness forgiven
Regardless of scars
Making darling provision
Of the vision this grants
I offer my heart
To the music of chance
From first pirouette to last dance
.
Please do view this as all of me
(Please do view this as all of me)
Do feel free to call on me
(Do feel free to call on me)
Each time that life needs
(Each time that life needs)
to dress up less ordinary
(to dress up less ordinary)
Cautionary measures
Only singe the wing feathers
At expense of keen pleasure
Hence the lessen of treasure
Should a feather of forever
Seek relish led endeavour
Nevermore again these tethers
From deep pains gain be severed
.
In compassionate glow
Over battlements flown
I proffer my soul
To go home
.

Over battlements flown
I proffer my soul
To go home

I proffer my soul
To go home

I proffer my soul

From the music of chance

I offer my heart
To the music of chance
Its beat slowed to start
Yet was swift to remark
On a trip through the stars
Now it grows with each dance
Bids twinning repose
To all precious things darned
Into cloak beneath which
Its chosen beat calms
To compose a sweet tune
From the music of chance
To compose a sweet tune
From the music of chance
To compose a sweet tune
From the music of chance
.
In compassionate glow
Over battlements flown
I proffer my soul
To go home
