Song Description

This is a song I wrote about Alexander the Great.

Lyrics

death to the dark
barks the dog
begs the queen
taunts the search incomplete
stalking God
sailing East
ever the world at your feet

I'm to bed
damned to dream
never to walk with these kings
oh how divine it would be
if we could live this life
for free

give me a sign
give me rain
give me sleep
trap my head in concrete
I want the stars to be far again
I wish the world have no end

down the street
cross the shore
we know that nothing hides more
beauty than
the endless horizon

and to our children
bright-eyed children
we'll tell stories
of the once-called great
Alexander

oh and what will the vultures
cross-eyed vultures
do without you
when you claim the white star
that you're after

are you looking for beauty
lifeless beauty
that evades you
but someday they will call
you it's master

all this talk about freedom
falling freedom
such that makes you
oblivious to every
disaster

through mud and through rain and
through sun and through snow
our spirits will follow
wherever you will go (repeat)
