The Mind Of Mars

Not all pathways opened from the Moon
The compounded dust layers of Lune
Hazy radiant solar light on the rise
With fear and terror in the skies

A signal transmitted through empty space
Bypassing the pyramids of surface face
The rolling fear and terror never know
The hidden law of Martian undertow

And it takes it in, the feelings of the past
Holding them in layered dreams fast
To repeat a pattern on a chaotic range
Remembering the alien and strange

A connection was lifted through cloud
And vapors of ice echoed very loud
And the stillness faltered and fled
The unknown storm in dusts of red

Of no stone and rock could it hold
The frail air of thinnish sand like gold
Giving way to a whirlwind wrath unnamed
Staying true to the nature of the untamed

And in the vast memory of Mars
Outer darkness inflicted its scars
The devouring darkness had begun
But the amber stone kept in the sun

An instinct to follow the silent skies
Recollect the paths toward the rise
Guarding the gates at the curve of light
That sharp stinging, that formless night

And again, not all pathways are bound
Not all traces are found in moon's round
The majestic warlord empire of red glow
Rising past the concentrated liquid flow

And Mars heeds the presence at last
It welcomes only what in strength is vast
It welcomes in the unwavering spirit grand
It absorbs the purest of vigilance in its land

The mind of Mars knows no time or goal
The anomaly is Lune, it recognizes no soul
So pass by clouds dipped in orange waves
Take in the pulse, and heed how it behaves

Mars will roll and rise beyond your hold
You must reach the ice, place a foothold
Merge with its thought and call to its core
The echo is calling, it's all been done before

And in the mind of Mars, the settled shore
Past the settled beams and pillars of lore
Formed of compound elements in the stars
There is life, it's all there in the mind of Mars
