Metamorpheus (pt. 1) - Cathedral Forest
*this is the last concept I worked on. It's about a rabbit wishing to be human, gets his wish thank to Circe, only to be disappointed. The title is a combo of metamorphosis and Morpheus because he's a dreamer and becomes human and back again. This is the first half subtitled Cathedral Forest.*
A sudden brush with death Was felt on the old October Road In the early morning summer cold "My life almost stopped on a dime" Eyes peer from the night Wonderment grasps and holds You know this scene all too well The octane faintly lingers The reminder: A temporary slice of the living hell. Left alone in the cold silence After your life flashed before you The gears shift to wonderment in your mind And what would Mother say If you passed away? Breathing your final breath? Would she cry the hours away? Or would she curse your name For dying on the path of death? Under the artificial spotlight Your temporary comfort zone The threshold of the hour You take a deep breath to reassure your life And a sudden brush of thought Was felt in the early morning cold Eat, sleep and multiply There must be more to life Will the monster return again? Eat, sleep and multiply Is there more out there for this animal's life? Mother's calling me now It's time to go home now Shake your whiskers and breathe in your breath Whilst in thoughts of others than your kind What else is swimming in your mind? You better gather your thoughts and your dreams And hide them behind the scenes Or you'll face the claws and talons If they find out about your crimes and schemes I hear my calling call out to me I can see my future most definitely If you could understand what I see You'd be a dreamer just like me Run from bush to tree from the faces you see Whilst in thoughts of others than your kind Whispering to others the thoughts in your mind Didn't you bother to heed the warning of friends? Words carry in Cathedral Forest again Falling into the wrong hands this time Welcome to the beginning of the end And the forest police came for you "It must've been something I said" A plethora of thoughts Hits you like a ton of bricks And the forest police arrest you For spewing out thoughts of venom A plethora of paranoia Makes your heart sink And you're taken to the grand theatre Where you're expected to perform a masterpiece Placed under a flare of the spotlight's glare Whilst Mother and Father watch from the gallery "What do you have to say for your thoughts of wonder? For thoughts of wanting to be like the other kind?" You plead your case, giving out your reasons And you pray that everything will turn out fine Eat, sleep and multiply There must be more to life Don't you ever wish for other things? Eat, sleep and multiply There must be more to life Like walking on hind legs Getting instead of stealing or begging I hear my calling call out to me I can see my future most definitely If you could understand what I'm feeling You'd be wishing like me In shock, the Grand Council Pissed their fur and their feathers They accuse you of treason In the first degree The gallery gasps in horror When they hear the verdict Leaving you left standing In disappointed disbelief Your parents look at you In disappointment and anger And your heart, again, sinks For you shamed the family name Your day starts glooming Your head and mind is spinning The tension begins to strangle you For now nothing is the same "I should've parted with my soul On the cold October Road" And the faces in the gallery Abuse you with their battery Adding to the misery You watch your Mother cry Your Father pushes you aside You just want to die Why do you want to be human When they're known for killing? Look what you've done to your Mother now Her feelings are bleeding Feelings of guilt and pain swarms inside This pain's so hard to hide Friends shake their heads with shame Things shall never be the same I hear my calling call out to me I can see my future most definitely If you could understand what I feel You'd be a misfit just like me Curl your whiskers and peddle your feet Into lush unknown territories Far away from the angry mob The result of the aftermath Guilt and sorrow sitting by the fire Trapped in the bittersweet Tear-stained eyes, burning retinas Of the eternal dreamer Left out in the cold glare of night Did you lose your four-leaf clover again? Your mouth cursed the names Of Father and the Grand Council Will I remain an outcast throughout my days? Where are those fairy godmothers When you damn well need them? Hide me under the groves in grasses lush green The hour of exposing pain Why must my life be so cursed? Dream to run from your unhappiness Dream of the lights that burns your eyes In the night so clean and crisp Sleeping to dream by the fireside Will the calling still call out to you? Goodnight my imaginary friend Shivering in fear For a figure appears Just as you turned around Is it the angel of death Coming to take my breath? To take my soul to sacred grounds? Listen to those little whispers That you don't want to listen too For they are soft spoken and quiet to you Stare at the figure bathed In the whispering light that terrifies you For the presence is unknown to you A hand reaches out from the darkness Shattering the mist and smoke Under a spell that fell before the presence Will the unsaid and undone Will be all that will be done When the presence stares back at you? Circe fell from the sky? Hell embodied in human form Lady of lust and vengeance Caught in the spell that laid many virgins What do you want with me? Damn this vision before my eyes! Dreams and thoughts of humanis erectus Where did it get us? Nothing but toil and troubles In our caldron of dreams Damned to extinction by modern minds Don't you dare question my motifs! Circe fell from the sky The roots and ivy ground you Scholar of carnal knowledge With the slip of her tongue, nursed out words Of what's to become Whilst her body's caressed in heat The hand reaches out for me And then something happened with the flash of time Body coursed with a strange merge After dust was blown into my eyes Past twenty-four hour replay and replay Til the blur washed into white Pain and sorrow, happiness and joy surged through Wake me, oh somebody wake me From this uncontrollable nightmare Why must everything always happen to me? I should've never wished for this Gather up yourself and crawl Crawl to climb, climb to stand Stand to view the world once more Into a world that you've only dreamed about Will they discover where you died? Welcome to the beginning of your new life In your new costume and skin Things shall be okay As long as I'm your only lay But don't commit an act of sin against me Or you'll be back to what you used to be Carrying your white flag Rest your new yet tired soul Goodnight my newborn friend (c) 2003 A.K. |
