Mori Calliope - Non-Fiction

Some "once upon a time" is not where our myth belongs
Through the faded lines of words and rhyme is a hidden song
Though fractured, deeply worn by sorrows from time and time again
Take my hand and enter our "pretend"

By star-lit skies, endlessly writing
Inviting those along
Lost souls who hear our song when gone astray
Though the strife's part of life, stay unafraid now
When forces say, "Behave", we say instead, "Be brave"

In a desperate shout, our souls reach out
With pen toward every page
We ignite, come alive like a starry night
With a fire no doubts can take away
Got no fairy tale where love prevails
Painful, now we move endlessly on
By the light, your spark
Head first into the dark

Some "once upon a time" is not where a voice gets heard
Will the faded lines of speeding time make us flightless birds?
When pen is running dry, a soul on fire is driven to react
And when burning flames attack, we will never fade to black

Though fake it seems
Not a dream or a trick of light
Always vacancy, take a seat, it's our story's time
A world's brought to life, through voices five
And as real as they say
Pen as sword, we're choosing fate
We can never lose our way

By star-lit skies, endlessly writing
Inviting those along
Lost souls who hear our song when gone astray
Though strife's part of life
Stay unafraid, now
When forces say "Behave", we say instead, "Be brave"

Defiant 'til the end, I'll stay killing to sing
I'll dance in burning embers unyielding
Your love's given me wings
While learning to remember the good times we bring
Our ocean's finally full of life
Set every vital piece in motion, now we write

In a desperate shout, our souls reach out
With pen toward every page
We ignite, come alive like a starry night
With a fire no doubts can take away
Write a fairy tale where love prevails
Clichéd, maybe, we move joyfully on
By the light, your spark
Hopeless days are just a part of being free
We wrote it all by heart

And smile, side by side among the stars
