Lyrics for Rhymes Of Goodbye

I've come from far from chains From metal and stone From makeshift designs And seeking a star To grab for the truth To keep myself warm I turn and it's gone You smile and it's born The rhymes of our woman's A river that never ends The rhymes of dimension Surrounds us with fire and friends And roaring through darkness The night children fly I still hear them singing The rhymes of goodbye There's nothing within, but within says a voice That's still my empire, and I've got a choice It's healers of death, It still got a fire And I keep it burning, with hands of desire The bells of our senses can cost us our pride Can toll out the boundaries that level our lives Can slash like the sunlight through shadows and cracks Our nakedness calling, our nakedness back The rhyme of our passions Find beauty in loving love The rhyme of our madness Burn cities and push and shoves And roaring through darkness The night children fly I still hear them singing The rhymes of goodbye
