Mandrake Borrowed Life
On silent shores we once stood
Listening to the waves
Slipping into distant dreams
Free to become slaves
In cloudless nights we once awoke
Staring at the lack of light
Hiding before worlds unseen
Free to ignore their sight
Teardrops falling down
So mortal and sublime
I shiver as I speak
Beneath the dawn of time
In dreamless sleep we once arrived
Breathing impulse, borrowed life
