Ode To The Black Nightshade

(album: Over The Horizon Radar - 2022)

Picking up the pieces
Of my lost refrain
The melodies that I once lost
Are coming back to stay
Flickering in twilight
Like ever burning flames
Those notes that call me back again
They shine to lead the way

Labyrinth of crossroads lay ahead of me
And in my lonely sphere I'll seek the sun
Painting the madness, the joy and sadness
Another vision has begun

Diversity inside my brain
I'm craving for life to sustain
With changes in the blinding light
Not grinding on the past

Pain and darkness, burning fight
It sends me to an endless night
But in my shadow something bright
A glow I can't withstand

Seems never ending the dreams I'm sending
My new horizon breaking through
The clouds of sadness, I paint the madness
And lay my canvas on the moon

Ode to the black nightshade
Ode to the black night
I turn another dark page
And shine my inner light

The future stealing measured time
I only hope in death I'll find
Some kind of present state of mind
To know that it will last
In the shadows walking blind
My words they often never rhyme
But I won't ever leave behind
The colours of my sky

Don't need a reason, life is my season
I make the fire burn for you
The bitter sorrow, but faith tomorrow
I feel the smiling of the moon

Ode to the black nightshade
Ode to the black night
There's magic in the dark age
As I write another page, oh yeah

Scanning for a brand new start
A runway for my restless heart
To fly into a world apart
So I can feel alive
Nightshade, you are always there
To hypnotize and light my flare
Your shadow dances everywhere
Like mysteries to find

It's never ending, the dream depending
On new horizons coming through
Without the darkness we'd never know success
And fly our visions to the noon

Ode to the black nightshade
Ode to the black night
I use my inner dark plague
To light another day

Ode to the black nightshade
Ode to the black night
Bring fire to the dark age
Illuminate the fight
