The Falcon (1996)

---

---

In golden glow
Of whispered ruin
A falcon's beak decries the moon
Time so taut with tethered claws
Pent freedom rubs the restless raw

Yon yellow sun so wintered cold
The polar bear debates his hold
Spring wound tight with anxious breath
The season smells the snowman's death

The falcon
The falcon flies
The falcon
The falcon cries

When good times roll to silver spoon
Will riches spoil defy the tune
Time once sang while friendship grew
By sacred trust the unmasked drew

Each victor red with passion's blood
The snowman's melt decides the flood
Seeds now moist from winter's loss
Will search for sun yet risk the frost

(Chorus)

Most stories white with heart sprung deeds
The blackbird's search defines each seed
Trust last laid in fertile soil
Still seeks to spring dance rhythms' coil

In golden glow
Of whispered ruin
A falcon's beak decries the moon
Time so taut with tethered claws
Pent freedom rubs the restless raw
The falcon's flight through yonder blue
Will hunger life, decry what's true
Graceful arcs and fervent dives
Is truth the prey for talon knives?
