Halo from Nightwalker by David Garza

Halo around the world
Curse upon the land
New bloom on the rosebush
A kiss in quicksand
Mothers hide your babes abreast
Fathers bar the door
Band the drums - stutter in tongues
The whole planet’s at war
I know why the mountains are black
Why shepherds dive for pearls
Oh dread oh dream mine eyes hath seen
The halo around the world
The queen preens in her castle
The king chokes on a spoon
From dusk til light all down the night
The stars chase the moon

I think it’s time we fly now
Grab my hand & we’ll be skybound

Halo around the world love
Saturn sheds her rings
On Easter Sunday in old Rome
The blind angel sings
He slithers an ancient zithered air
A sad bedraggled tune
While all around the Vatican
The stars chase the moon
Halo around the world

I think it’s time we fly now
Grab my hand & we’ll be skybound
Let’s spread our wings at least to try now
I think it’s time we fly now
