A Lake - Lawrence Arabia

A lake

A still and ageless lake

A dark and depthless lake

You made a splash, it was concentric

As you’d expect it

A lake

A still and ageless lake

A dark and depthless lake

You made a splash

It was concentric as you’d expect it

A field

A yellow painted field

Depicted in a dusty book

The mind was weak, the body willing

That fact was chilling

I never knew me, my dear

Till I met you I thought I was cool

It only took seven years

And then we were truly in love

You led me dumb and blind

Through the obstacle course that I call my mind

And when I reached the end

The certificate — it was you

A fire

A red and raging fire

A sick satanic pyre

We danced around, victorious Vikings

Invoking lightning

A force

An invisible force

The terrifying hordes

They don’t believe that it is sinning when you are winning

I never knew me, my dear

Till I met you I thought I was cool

It only took seven years

And then we were truly in love

You led me dumb and blind

Through the obstacle course that I call my mind

And when I reached the end

The certificate — it was you
