*gasp*
Hey, Castle x8
I have three spirits acting as guides
My halo tells me they've nothing to hide
800 steps to the temple on the cliff
Wear and tear forged of convoluted thoughts and myths
I came here knowing not what I seek
And before me sits a proud magnificent beast
Blue White Pyramidites floating around his throne
This sea palace must be this shorthair's home
Noble feline, I ask of thee
If you know answers I seek
I turned to him my head bowed low
Hoping my respect would show
With rising mirth it laughed tickled pink
Great meowls throughout the palace ringed
"Welcome to your sacred halls, my king"
"Hewn of amber near the Silver Seas."
In that instance, my Halo glowed
And a second temple appeared juxtaposed
It was crystal clear within my highest of sights
Expelling forth a violent transluscent light
Noble feline, I ask of thee
What is this vision I see?
This dark feeling fills me with dread
This is what it said
"Young mortal, lost, wandering blind
You have been chained up inside your mind
The Halo shows you the path meant to be
Now, you are free."
"Why are you still here?" (what are we still doing here?)
"Why do you not fear" (Didn't the Warden make himself clear?)
To my grief this temple I must abide
And there is no place for you to hide
Over the hills, silver rainstorms glide
Signs of the Riptide
Hey, Castle, Hey, Castle, Hey, Castle
Oh
Oh, Caslte, Oh, Castle, Oh, Caslte
Don't go

Puddles to the Sea I
02:44

Three puddles one of which leads me
Out to the Golden Seas
But of the three I know not which guarantees
My safety
Through the low tides to the place where I would roam
Eons ago, the escape from my home
They look all alike but I must choose now
Oh, woe, but how?
Two of the three are traps I laid for thieves,
Two places of incongruency
Tangents to the worlds that I've put to rest
The Dreamscape's darkest
Corners that I wish not to know,
Yet, here I go

The Exiled Scorpion
05:36
|

|
A pitiful flow between grey cliffs of limestone
Makes up this small stream
And just past that is the temple
Exhuming light from the Golden Seas
Spirits have gone
I must tread (on)
From a shadowed cave comes rumbling
Small tremors beneath the ground
Behemoth chiton emerges
So dreadful I made no sounds
What have I done?
To awake this White Scorpion?
I must run.
"You, my friend, are running off to nowhere
Breathe before you have a heart attack
For you know I am your darker powers."
It told me as its halo glowed black
"I devoured all your worthless waste of thoughts
And, of course, imposing thieves
And for all my services rendered
I'd like to merge, become one entity."
I have no spirits to guide me
I must face this on my own
I can't hijack its mind fuzz
What use is this Halo?
"The poison in my stinger is the same
Blood boiling in your veins
And the very creative juices
That secret inside your brain
I stayed here, observed in silence
Progress, haltings, peace and violence
Stow your fears of the great unknown
Joined together, seamless, mind and bone."
My gaze bored into it knowing
It might poison my mind's coffers
Riptide closing in I have no choice
I accept its offer
Walk with me,
Now we're free

-TA- (Spirits) "Scorpion"
-Three puddles one which cleansed my sins
Deep within-
(Now the boy's back in our care, about him's a more regal aire
He has accepted his fears, and that resolve led him back here)
-Still of these two paths where each one leads me
Escapes memory-
(Yet we sense a darker presence, the poison within his halo
And if the boy is not careful, the White Madness within him will flow)
Through the low tide to the place where I would roam
Sanctuary far away from my home
But even the tempests, though plenty would rise
Pales to Riptide
"I do kindly suggest, weary friend
That you take this time to rest for the end"
There is no more time my thoughts can delay
Every new theory just shortens the day
Past the sun's zenith no more time to lose
This fate I'll choose
"Boy this choice is a jest, no mistake
Lay these foolish spirits to rest, change our fate"

"Scorpion" -Spirit 2-
Come now chosen, learn to have fun
Join us spirits in raucous creation
It's the only way that you and I relate
To sate our inner demons
"Absorb them, don't listen..."
There's no sense in trying to run
Create strong chords from your frustration
Because the smallest noise
With power and poise drowns out your demons
"Absorb them, absorb them, don't listen, don't listen..."
-Shut up, shut up, shut up shut up shut up
Woo!-
-Fighting off demons
Walking in the sun
Now I'll admit that creature's useful here and there
It's a lot more destructive than it'll probably share
It used to be my best friend, cuz it freed me from my shame
But the payoff left me with rage which bred sadness and blame
Fighting off demons
Walking in the sun
I wound up a disgrace
So don't you take my place-
I bid caution to you that soon if you aren't careful you'll be dead
Simply due to the poison dripping from your Halo onto your head
Bones have silenced the Exiled so through our wisdom you are reborn
With it comes the lost knowledge needed to control the Eye inside the Storm
Yaheeyaheeyaieeyehy,

-TA- (Spirits) "Scorpion"
-Three puddles now I know which one
Leads through the sun-
"There's a darkness which over the Dreamscape looms"
(We have given you the power to conquer the Storm)
-Yet the time wasted in once fond memories brings
Calamity-
"It's an omen that now we are thoroughly doomed"
(You've had rehearsals but now the time's come to perform)
-Nothing more comes from this wasting of time
Our safest journey has been misaligned-
(Listen to us and don't you dare falter)
-Seemingly tricked by whispers in the woods
By partial falsehoods-
(Nor sacrifice yourself upon an altar)
(Oh, no)
-I failed so far that the mere thought of success
Makes me distressed-
"I told you to exorcise those doddering fools"
(We have given you the power to conquer the Storm)
-Yet I must press onwards taking things in stride
So I may survive-
"Now we die by Riptide which is a fate too cruel"
(You've had rehearsals but now the time's come to perform)
(Waste not time chosen now you must go
Learn to control the storms harsh ebb and flow
Let go of yourself, your thoughts, your ego)
"Swirling, ravenous, the Riptide is death
Torrential downpours, too wet to draw breath
Only the bravest fools try, for once stay inside your mind"
(Oh, no)
-Out from this puddle turns into a sea
Vast incapable of serenity-
"Even if you're distressed, you will find me at rest"
(Listen to us and don't you dare falter)
-Trials and challenges led up to here
My path is clear-
"I've no desire to help someone who can't do one request."
(Nor sacrifice yourself upon an altar)
(Oh, no)
