Analysis of "EYES TO THE SKY"



As stars bleed,
light travels at high speed,
energy to the soul it feeds
with memories of ancestral deeds.
We the celestial beings,
keep eyes to the sky while manifesting dreams.
From misty nights filled with hollowed screams,
to the break of dawn and warmth of sun beams
threw gained knowledge like them we shine.
In one's mind the will of controlled time
is a given gift by those divine.
Reaching out as if blind,
we search to contact those of another kind.
It's all worlds and all dimensions I define
in this life and the next within a rhyme.
To the spirits of old and futures foretold.
To the Norns decreed as gods speak,
keep eyes to the sky and focus on the path u seek...
