The Winter of my Soul

The Winter of my Soul
Lyrics:

I'm stoking a fire, crouched upon the stone Hearth, in another lifetime on a much quieter Earth
Hemorrhages of profit flow and blood money Machines are left with the baggage of the 21st Century
In the winter of my soul,
Solace finds this refugee

Broken battlements atop my castle walls;
Cannon shots from enemies whom I could not Forestall, in seasons of drought, war and Futility, I shared beds with the wrong women
- At least two considered killing me
In the winter of my soul I sleep alone
Without hostility

Branches swaying wild in the cold night wind
I let myself drop into the depths and begin
Where I left off, in the territory of dreams,
Where owls are aliens and shadows speak of Release
The winter of my soul evokes the other within
Me
