Euterpe

In another time, I was naive, simply do as you’re told
The future now past, tomorrow’s today, days grow cold

I took a Rorschach test last night, unlocked hidden memories
Tried to explain what I saw through ink stains on a page

Time passes silently
Time will never set you free

I took an unplanned trip nowhere, Death came to find me there
When Charon spoke, I awoke, and Hades hands were bare

Time passes silently
Time will never set you free

The gypsy read the lines on my palm
Tea leaves for good measure
She told me ... to seek my muse
The Giver of Pleasure

I secured a boat, set to sea, Euterpe’s flute guiding me
Her sweet ethereal melody ... her Grace ... released me

Time passes silently
Time reveals your destiny
