Be I the beacon calling others to the song? If the words cast from my lips take shape soar through the air luring tempting collecting then pray, wander into their path let them wrap around you caress every part of you sneak into your ear and whisper quick promises and draw you back to me in my tower my enchantments keeping the darkness at bay gasping desperation for the promise of a glimmer. Raise your song to my cadence shake the stones under foot amplify don't deify and others will surely soon join us crashing like waves at our shores.
