Beneath the rising and setting sun Upon the ocean glittering strong An artist's landscape fantasy A real life beauty, not false imagery
From the waterfalls, and then moving on Delirious and drunk, quite simply from Nature's astounding pieces of living art From sea to sea, the mountains call me on
In the sands of time I saw Buried beneath years of dust An old familiar face I thought I'd lost I see her haunted smile and I carry on
It's the nature of the beast To love to be diseased In your eyes I saw an ocean And you sparkled like the sun
Swimming deeper into an ocean Where your blue eyes draw me in So far from places I've never been Deep into the darkness I see within
Swift as currents, that strongly rage I hold a key that unlocks your cage But where is the door, it is hidden From my sight, seeking night vision
Sparkling clear like champagne fantasies Waiting to be clear of my ugly obcenities Foresight never took hold my empty heart Maybe together we can make a new start
It's the nature of the beast To love to be diseased In your eyes I saw an ocean And you sparkled like the sun
I'd love to free you, for all time Love to unlock the secrets, of your mind I'd love to love you, for all time But I'm afraid to be another parasite Could I be another parasite Afraid I am another f---ing parasite!!
It's the nature of the beast To fall in love with this disease In my eyes shines a gentle glimmer And in my soul you spark release
Reap the fruit of your labor... Nature of the beast...
Reap the fruit of your labor... Nature of the beast... (slightly fading)
Reap the fruit of your labor... Nature of the beast... (fading more)
I adore the first half, the rythm and rhyme is just superb. Seems to drift to a different idea on the second half, a chilled darkness crept in and clouded the light. Great to see your writing.. ~Lady Poe
