Beauty, fear, change, ephemera, transmigration, oral history, and dreams.
These elements dance through this song, between the oaks and around the vines of a long forgotten time.

lyrics
The druid queen, a Capricorn,
with hair of gold and hidden horns.
The satyrs sat, with sardish eyes,
reflections of the blood moon skies.
The druid queen, who’s ways are wise,
knows which words to emphasize.
Her flowing tresses, trance the tranceless,
inspire the gods, excite the masses.
The swirling dance, minds metamorphose,
though Now is clear, it quickly passes.
The Druid Queen, in fading light,
greets the dawning of the night.
The wine she pours, from cup to cup,
no tongue shall taste nor lips corrupt.
Beneath the stars, forth flows the lore,
from beauty with no metaphor.
The burning thirst, but one thing quenches,
she pours her wine into our glasses.
The bottle bursts, the floor it drenches,
forever binds the light it catches.
The wood nymphs hide, just out of sight,
while tomes of woven words take flight.
Upon our brows, the legends cast,
we’ll dream the dreams of ages past.
The Druid Queen, whose ways are wise,
knows which words to emphasize.
Her flowing tresses, trance the tranceless,
inspire the gods, excite the masses.
The swirling dance, minds meet Morpheus,
though Now is here, it quickly passes
