Call The Fallen

7) Magenta Sand

•Call The Fallen, Track #7•

{Inspired by the song Pearl of the Stars, from the band Coheed and Cambria.}

•••

{The concept is of an abstract being called the Sandman, who seeks to bring back color to a somber world.}

'Tis dusk the stars now sit in charcoal dust

The candied motes flying cold now in the air

Whispered, to these mellow hands

They call this orchestra a dirge

You shall see the lavender and the teal

In the sky, and when the auroras

Spirit away, they leave the feet

Of the gray

Like a wind-up butterfly

The pigments flit and rapture

And the dreams? They create

This aesthetic, yummy fate

Of magenta sand

She swallows first, the grains of cookie crumbs

The aurum leaps, the child...she's never done

Watch as, her dress cloaks the clouds

And a gemstone is found

Now crown

An elegy, twilight breath

In the lullaby, creep-creep crepts

Soon a marble maze

Comes to fall

And the gold? Grasped by all

Look closer, Sandman

To the deaths that flicker and gleam

Through this dreamed, gentle stream

The maroon becomes darker

Of magenta sand
