Splendid Isolation

When all of the swallows pass me by 
  They still make summer just a memory 
  You're still the road where I was led 
  I think you always were, I think you always were 

  And so you pound upon the door until you break 
  As if your will alone could be enough 
  But your will is a thousand miles away 

  Here on the giants shoulder 
  The eye of the endless wave 
  The light is aglow and you're alone 

  I know there's always be a stowaway 
  In my head is the burden like a landslide 

  Purple clover 
  Moon faced queen 
  Crimson's name is legion 
  If the price is right 

  Tell me one more time 
  Like you used to do 
  Though the shadow is large 
  Light will show the truth 
  Who you used to be 
  When I held your hand 
  Why did I comply? 
  If I did not believe 

  And all it took was all I could make it 

  So if your memory serves you well 
  You may remember what you have done 
  You call on me to talk to them 
  And later question why I'm gone 
  Well every plan you've had has failed 
  There is nothing more to say 
  Your judgements made by someone else 
  Did their wisdom serve you well? 

  Absence is fire 
  Hearts are whitest coal 
  Embers ghosts that die within 
  The dream is exploding 
  Letters never read 
  Stuck in our night of waiting 

  Welded in the signs 
  Carved in bone 
  Written in the frozen mountain 
  Pouring from the sky 
  Clawing at the earth 
  Everywhere I looked I could see them 

  Purple clover 
  Moon faced queen 
  Crimson's name is legion 
  If the price is right
