The Phantom Rickshaw

Ink may ease a feverish chill
 Rip shadows from reality
 While the pines sing overhead
 All a hideous mistake
 Caravans of faceless phantoms drift across the world
 Words and wonders seized
 And sold without a flag unfurled
 The stories, the Rickshaw and I
 Dream away to horizon's end
 Kaleidoscopes wedged in the sand
 As one realm, one people, one lie
 Through the leaks within my head
 The darkness sips the horror flows
 While the rain-fed torrents whisper
 All a hideous mistake
 Caravans lie bare and plundered as the vultures fly
 Where an empty heart lies buried all will fall and die
 The stories, the Rickshaw and I
 Dream away to horizon's end
 Kaleidoscopes wedged in the sand
 As one realm, one people, one lie
 ♪
 All these twisted vines shall drown
 In tears flown from the cheek of time
 The stories, the Rickshaw and I
 Dream away to horizon's end
 Kaleidoscopes wedged in the sand
 As one realm, one people, one lie
 Yet is the worth of a tale
 Always hidden
 Beyond the lines?
