Night Castle

I have been this way before

Check each window, every door

For a passage through this night

This night

But each hallway ends the same

Every door's been checked in vain

For a way to reach that light

That light

As I move in deeper

Towards this castle's keeper

Every stair seems steeper

Am I risking my own life?

My lifeThen a falcon in the air

Looking down returns my stare

While she's circling around

AroundThen she dives straight towards a wall

Then she isn't there at all

And is gone without a sound

No soundI have no choice but to follow

What was solid now is hollow

Stairways hidden behind curtains

Realizing nothing is certain

Suddenly upstairs

I'm climbing

Then through hallways twisted, winding

This falcon on her endeavor

Do these stairs just go forever on?

And in that room, an old man sitting there

He's writing notes and drops them in the air

Somewhere outside upon an ocean breeze

Which takes them out past where the eye can see
