Harbinger from Harbinger by Barney Keen

Hands hanging by your side
the strength to look at the wounds you hide

Could you be the harbinger of life
I have been waiting for in time

The mind is split in two half is fantasy half is truth
won’t you walk with levity
to sever the words from you

Did you give a warning
in the silent moment of your hands
looking at shapes only you see

Red is the morning
in the silent spring

Lights of a siren
five blades of iron

The fear that knowing takes away in time
the innocence that freedom makes in time

The mind is split in two half is fantasy half is truth
won’t you walk with levity
to sever the words from you

Did you give a warning
in the quiet rhythm of your hands
waking from dreams we’ll never know

The fear that knowing takes away in time
the innocence that freedom makes in time

The fear of knowing
the fear of growing
gave you a warning
in the abstract
in the rapture
won’t you build that
drifting away from me
what your heart hears
in dreams
a lifeline
a siren
love is your hand
what your heart hears
is walk again
