lyrics

The shadow of an infant haunts my shame
A betrayal of the future shuns my name

An evening in a dream to mute the blood
Roaring from a crevice in my soul

Symbol of the rainbow to say my lie
A cradle in the meadow to soothe my cry

A melody in silver to halt the flood
The pain that sings on nights of no control

A darkness in the light that follows me
Eats my mind
Swallows my life

The wingspan of my agony is sweeping
Gulps the sun
Sorrow spun

The vision of an ancient mother just rises
In shallow woods
A child blooms

Century of sadness crouched in wait
A church will hold the echoes of this flame

A melody in silver to halt the flood
The pain that sings on nights of no control

A darkness in the light that follows me
Eats my mind
Swallows my life

The wingspan of my agony is sweeping
Gulps the sun
Sorrow spun

The vision of an ancient mother just rises
In shallow woods
A child blooms

Swarm of faces to predict
Where solitude went wrong
A righting to the left
Unsee the fractures of the damned

The fates that intersect
Brightening the dawn

In a daze that squanders rest
Every dream is gone

I’ve died in every test
The king of just go on

And I long to confess
In the dying of the swan

A darkness in the light that follows me
Eats my mind
Swallows my life

The wingspan of my agony is sweeping
Gulps the sun
Sorrow spun

The vision of an ancient mother just rises
In shallow woods
A child blooms

about

Francisco Mejia Bratislava, Slovakia

I have had songs in my soul and mind since childhood in New York. I kept them inside for years, nurturing music as it gestated.

I have now reached a point in my life where I can no longer suppress the music inside me.
