I scried and spied you sleeping
in your dark and lonely tower
where you had tried to cry while breathing
as the sun fell that very hour

My magic wand lay discarded
On the dusty floor
and I had no power
to fix a broken dream

The day was gone
and love was no more
My courage cowered
in the moonlight's beam

Somewhere on a silver lake
beneath the starry skies
I heard the siren sing
and it opened my weary eyes

Surreal; I stood
and made my way
to hear any good
her mystic heart would say

There I dipped deep
in the archaic pool
wondering what
these waters keep
for such a fool

I slept the sleep
of a million minds
and drank the sea
of space and time

I drew a pain
I never knew
and gained
an enlightened
point of view

Rising with an early dawn
I wrote a new incantation
and sent my words swiftly on
to derive a better situation

Now the empty tower looms
with many a waiting room
and I will work to bring it down
before it claims a larger crowd

For I see the enemy
you were trapped by
when you allowed
your heart to turn black

But I will stay
until I get through
and find the way
to bring you back
