Scars

(album: A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society - 2022)

It's come again, and won't reveal its name
While it paints the world in shadow
You try to run but you can't get away
Your body's aching you can't move

Eyes, incisive stare
Feel them everywhere
Raining darkness on you
Feel it by your side
Feel it crawl into your mind
You're dancing to the sound of

Heroes and tightropes and fire
Don't count the scars just let them
Light up the night sky
Hero! And no one shall see
How it grows from the scars

Wailing beauty, ecstasizing poetry
From the well of harmony — ripped apart
Broken dreams, false promises we felt were made
As we set out on a journey fated from the start
Or did we just take some wrong bloody turn
On a devious road
Drawn to the song (Of)

Heroes and tightropes and fire
Don't count the scars
Just make them shine in the night sky
Heroes and no one shall see
How it grows from the scars

It's here again but we must not be afraid
Make it shed exhilaration
We pray tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
While deep inside we know that something will remain

Eyes incisive stare
Feel them everywhere
Constant dripping wears the stone
Oh
Shadow by your side
Shadows poured into your mind
As you stumble towards the sound

Of heroes and tightropes and fire
Don't count the scars
Just make them shine in the night sky
Heroes and all they will see
How it's grown over scars

Heroes and tightropes and fire
Don't count the scars
Just make them shine in the night sky
Heroes no one shall see
How it grows from the scars
