Mayhem and Treason (words & music ©1999 by Dean Bonzani)

I came when you whistled
I stayed for the rains
Drank dew from a thistle
Had visions again

Of a place without reason
That scatters the light
Where mayhem and treason
Turn day into night

You bore me from riverblood
Dripping with sleep
Your luminous fingers
Pulled me from the deep

Now high on an island
Beneath a pale sun
I'm closing a book
That I've barely begun

I came when you whistled
I waited to hear
Just why you had called me
And why was I here
Just why have you called me
And why am I here

This place is a catacomb
Scoured and wan
A shimmering landscape
Where I don't belong

A crossroads
Where travelers lighten their loads
By leaving their dreams
By the side of the road

My bones are a temple
Where no one may dwell
A gateway whose threshold
Spans Heaven and Hell

My flesh feeds the ravens
My eyes for a meal
My hands clasp a torment
That no one must feel

A spade for the wicked
A rose for the saint
A riot of fireflies
Flickers away
