I REMEMBER THE DIAMOND SKY
I went up to the beach at night
To sleep upon the sand
My dreams, they carried me away
I fell down through the sand
I fell like sleeping beauty
To the bottom of the sea
I bit into the apple
The poison pit of melancholy
I slipped into unconscious flow
I could not fight the ocean
The undertow, it was so strong
It dragged me across the bottom
When I was young, I had no fear
I stood upon the dunes
I called the lightning down to me
When the moon was high and full
At night, I dove into the sea
And there, I danced with God
I felt the fear stoke in my blood
As we crashed against the rocks
Looking up from underneath
I watch the breaking waves
I sink just like a heavy stone
And God, he looks away
All the world, it is a dream
And the nighttime sky, she carries me
My mother named me for the night
When the stars are breaking through
I rise up from the ocean floor
Into the light of day
The pink clouds make me dizzy
For so long, I've been away
I walk the wire between dark and light
And sometimes I fall in
I feel the fear stoke in my blood
I face the cold north wind
I stare out at the fishing boats
When the waves are breaking tall
I hear the ocean call to me
Her undertow is strong
The moonlight soaks into the sand
Dissolving every shadow
Lilith blinks her lonely eyes
And sinks down to the bottom
Looking up from underneath
I remember the diamond sky
A thousand souls have come awake
Shining like stars through the night.
