in the empire of the one-eyed King



behind the iron gates of sleep



beyond the reach



of all loss and longing



of all my suffering





in the kingdom of the melancholy



I keen for thee this melody



waiting for your



bell to call me



for you to summon me





keeper of dreams



I wear your ring



with quiet tears I emplore thee



it is with you I long to be





in the empire of the one-eyed King



behind the veils of tears I weep



beneath the swell



of voices singing



of voices yearning





in the sorrow of his majesty



I pray upon my rosary



wishing for your



arms around me



for you to comfort me





keeper of dreams



I wear your ring



with quiet tears I emplore thee



it is with you I long to be
