lyrics

He floated on the still life pond
White feet swishing light and fast
Primping in the water mirror
Bouncing off the placid glass

I am the king of all the meadows
Duke of trees and hills and vales
Sky and sea reflect my splendor
All life flocks to hear my tales

Swimming underneath the water
Was a darkness strong and sound
Knowing that the light was up there
Knowing it would take him down

Head held high the light was boasting
Confident inside his head
Darkness was unknown to all
But darkness knew it must be fed

Schools of fish all spoke about it
Whispering among the gills
Coming soon is revolution
Coming soon a clash of wills

Suddenly the sky errupted
Turning water into wine
Light was bursting on the mountains
When the wave hit through his spine

Shards of glass went on forever
Blasting into eyes and skin
Colours vanished into nothing
Darkness hid all truth and sin

Now the lake is ruled by time
Clear as glass to look upon
Dark took light all through the night
But light killed dark at break of dawn
