Disclaimer: This poem/song thingie contains vague references to Cowboy Bebop.
The piano never stops playing
It's crashing through the oak-wood floor
The choir sings in admonished fury
Tears of sweat and blood begin to pour
Crystal shards tearing through my veins
My shattered innocence gone
The rose-red tint now cracked-in-view
Through the shimmering fountain's fog
The water cascades liquid cool
Through the foamy, shallow breeze
The pillared figure, weathered-down
Begs me on his knees
Chorus:
Speak like a child, Darling
Your life has passed the opportune
Wiping the tears, the sullen hues
You overcome the real folk blues
You make for your bed, in the dust and the dirt
You remembered your past, even though it hurt
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
My eye never stopped seeing
Mosaics of my time with you
It gazes on that godless scene
My past is present splintered view
Light picks out the broken glass
That scattered from the wall
Blazing guns burned through the air
I know why angels fall
Chorus
Bridge:
Please tell him, you know where
You said you'd be waiting, for me there
Rain and despair, the graveyard knows
Now it's graced, by a lovely rose
Outro
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
Watching you fall by
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
Holding you as you die
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
Slowly tears fall
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
Hold me close
Notes:
This song was written by my friend Zaphod, except for the fourth and fifth verses, which were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Really.
Nah, I'm just shittin' ya. I wrote 'em. Anyway, hope that you caught all of the vague Bebop references since I would hate for you, the dear reader, not to get anything out of this.
Anyway, www.ziltron.virtue.nu is me website.
