B Ballad (A Possession in Astral Tongue)

listen to ‘B Ballad (Possession In Astral Tongues)’ on Audioboo

Looking down, I see myself

transitioning from nestled sleep to endless dream

At first I search for the glowing

path…when suddenly a stunning realization

stammers forth it’s surreal flood

Observations stir, until, the form awakes…but you stay adrift

not returning to your shell…and yet, you watch, as it functions still

Following in-flux you float about

staggering the summits with watchful eyes…understanding completely, you haven’t died, you’re alive, but your vessel, is no longer yours alone to steer

And soon thereafter, drawn unto an astral field you go

wandering in a formless realm, where familiar sights

quickly disjoint the body from the soul

as once familiar songs, are belted out, in tongues foreign to the light

The thief moves about in the circles I had built, yet they can not tell the difference, the imposter’s presence goes unknown…perhaps, or so it seems, a case can be made to indicate, that both family and friends, appeared to like me more now, than they ever had, when It was I, comprising the definitions deep inside

And even when rapt in these songs of sin

no one noticed that these words were not mine,

were his seductive charms so aligned,

they couldn’t see the illusion buried beneath my skin?

His deception played upon the acts and thoughts

of others, stirring forth the definitions they wished to hear, that they wished I’d be

and as day’s continued, in this space I grew lost,

even questioning if I was better served with the beast controlling me

All I could do, was sing a Ballad of Foreign Astral Tongues:
