No perception of passing time The words struggle to escape her mind New perspectives to redefine Birdsong awakens her from the storm Shuffle the sequence of old paradigms The rhyme and metre still misaligned Another page lay burning in the fire The ink and the feather hold their secrets well Nightingale I dream in daylight One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem Poetic justice arriving after all When characters and places start to form A sullen emperor endures his requiem Can he live with this lament? A mechanical animal A dangerous game That clockwork song it sings Will send you to your grave Now heed the nightingale's cautionary tale Away, away, for I will fly to thee One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem inside Dig in with your claws I push my talons into your skin Heal me with your song You are forgiven for all your sins Dig in with your claws Sleep now in blissful anaesthesia Heal me with your song Still no perception of passing Nightingale I dream in daylight Nightingale mine See me take flight One fateful night Unspoken binds unravel me My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem One fateful night Unspoken binds unravel me My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem
