Magnolia Lyrics


I held the keys, I saw the lock,

Had every chance to throw open the gates

You'd let me in,

You'd let us in

the hopes and visions in the mist

and youthful dreams were inbetween

the slipping grip of a shaken angels hands

The temple of disaster held

a grievance never aired

We thought you saw the full moon,

but all you saw was the crescent,

every precious plan and mission

cast to sacred ascent

Behind the veil of opalescence

was a setting sun

Below the gleam of morning gold

the pools of ebony grew

How I sought oracle of the heavy dews

to return you with every Arch Of Rain...

only to grasp the light again

Until our colours fade

may the sky be stained and the wind scream out your name

in your comet's trail

the clarity of memory

ghostdancing in the fields of fall

Lights; blinding radiant

a silhouette in graceful glow

Resonating rays of summer gold

yell from mountains to ravines

above the frozen heights to lakes in wait

now maybe we'll see, beyond...

Mortality, in a kingdom,

More vast than the cosmos

How I sought oracle of the heavy dews

to return you with every Arch Of Rain...

only to grasp the light again

Even faded sparks

can light a thousand hearts

Until our colours fade

may the sky be stained and the wind scream out your name

in your comet's trail

(to grasp the light again)

When you crashed to emptiness

all the starry eyes you left in the eclipse

for one who burned so pale

Reaching the arch of rain

grasping the light again
