Heavens Call

A long time,
Maybe one hundred years
From now
I'll find a place to breathe
On a cold night
After twilight
The crimson sky
Will reign down
And torch the ocean floor

In song that sings and rings across the endless beaches
Past the meadows where the lions have a place to lay
I'll find that place on earth where hell can't touch and heaven reaches
Space and time and maybe float away

Follow Alice and the Rabbit through the castle breaches
Forge a key that opens every other corner door
Climb the wishing well and toss a thousand silver pieces
Listen as the wishes hit the floor

Maybe someday peter pan will take my daughter flying
To never land to watch the shadows as they sing and play
Away from bullets flying people killing children crying
The star where no one ever fades away

I want to see the angels crawl out from the white sand dollars
Ring a bell until they grow their wings and hit the sky
Capture every moment just before they break earths collar
Believe in God and never wonder why

On this day so far away you know ill be in heaven
Never again to let the sneaky people bring me down
Walking with angels while the clocks are ringing one eleven
And seven forty sevens make no sound

A long time,
Maybe one hundred years
From now
I'll find a place to breathe
On a cold night
After twilight
The crimson sky
Will reign down
And torch the ocean floor
