If--

--I could, I'd forge a sunbeam sword
A rapier bright with stardust hilt
I'd fly for miles on wings of dawn
To leave this world of fear and guilt

I'd fight your demons with my sword
And leave them standing there below
We'd wend our way between the stars
In the heat and through the snow

To search forever till we find
A place with other ways of life
A planet lost to time and space
Away from hidden pain and strife

Although we'd lose ou rlives of ease
What better path is there to take
To leave behind the deathly fear
That what is real is really fake

On earth there is no joy or pain
That isn't damped by social norms
No simple task that can be done
If one forgets the proper forms

The souls like islands, silent, stark
Are standing in an acid sea
It burns their ridges and their shores
So they retreat from what they see

But with dawn's wings we'll fly away
And leave the ocean to its pain
To find new worlds beyond the stars
And nevermore return again
