The Circle Holds -------------------- The dark behind my eyes has its own light I let my will unwind into the black The ash-white hours crawl but cannot reach me I have no wish to find my way back From the cosmos comes the one who knows my language He burns and speaks and pulls the world off track The circle holds, the circle holds Nothing born of day gets in He breaks apart and still he wakes I am where I have always been My body carries what no name can reach I feel my blood run heavy, thick, and drawn A queen of what the waking world abandoned The boundary I've cut will not be gone I made this place from everything they feared I wear the dark the way I wear my bone The circle holds, the circle holds Nothing born of day gets in He breaks apart and still he wakes I am where I have always been Something moves beneath the skin The whole structure starts to breathe I do not ask what hides beneath Only let it further in The circle holds, the circle holds Nothing born of day gets in He breaks apart and still he wakes I am where I have always been I have always been drawn To the place where the waking world ends And the dark carries on The circle holds The star goes out I burn in the dark The night is mine "The Circle Holds" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti.
