Come Alive

The night rains sideways

Little darts sting my face

The wind leans like a falling wall

There is struggle to walk

but an ease to stand tall

The black sound rushes to rise

Catching shadows mad with a violence

The rain has set fire to everything

What does not rage,

rests on the pavement

Or sleeps in the leaves like a distant city

There is struggle to hide now

but an ease to come alive

Come Alive, come alive...

All the layers and layers

Cannot shield from revival

Mad with the dancing storm

And all the layers and layers

Refuse to disguise

The birth of the Winter Child

Fire tall and body alive

The birth of the Winter Child...
