I blame this entirely on [Triola], who has a habit of giving me ideas and then spurring me on. While I ruminate on the rules, check out these two sets of lyrics.

Eternity tree

Reaching out for the horizon
it rises from stony ground
knotty branches majestic
even when covered only by the wind
so solitary, out there
standing on the edge of the world

<CHORUS>
Did you ever experience
that bitter loneliness
of a cold night
enveloped in the dark
waiting for someone
staring out in the wilderness
</CHORUS>

Such an all-embracing light
still cannot reach far enough
the daystar weak against shadows
gathered around its roots
Only the moon, with its soft silvery whispers
has touched the gnarly trunk

<CHORUS>
Did you ever experience
that sharp, bitter loneliness
of a cold night
enveloped in the dark
waiting for someone, anyone
staring out in the wilderness
</CHORUS>

When everything that is
has fallen
it will still stand guard
the eternity tree
watching over all



Icarus Rising

We used to say
humans will have wings
with which to soar one day
laughing, defiant, in the face of
the nonbelieving and everyone else
holding hands with secret smiles

<CHORUS>
I see you take flight
and think: you're like Icarus,
rising high
where none can reach you
and behind my laugh I pray
you'll never stop flying
</CHORUS>

All those childhood dreams,
remember, you and me and
the endless skies
you took them in your hands
and made the impossible
a picture perfect reality

<CHORUS>
I see you take flight now
and think: you're like Icarus,
rising high
where none can reach you
and behind my tears I pray
you'll never stop and fall
</CHORUS>
