Ikon Lyrics

Send a letter to the past

Pen an open gift forecast

Tell the tale of how you stole away

A dedication to the page

For the eyes of tender age

Who would long to look upon today

Keep it open, keep it in

Let it sink beneath the skin

As the cursive plots your fingerprint

Draw it over, draw it out

Draw the heart that beats throughout

Through a rhythm that you hold within

Send a letter to the past

Pen an open gift forecast

Tell the tale of how you stole away

A dedication to the page

For the eyes of tender age

Who would long to look upon that face so still

Before me now

A vivid ikon

In flesh somehow

Those eyes aflame

In whose sweet light

All sorrow passes

And bliss ignites

Draw me open, draw me in

Let me sink beneath the skin

Buried deep within your fingertips

Set me over, set me free

As for now alone are we

In a moment nothing can eclipse

Send a letter to the past

Leave the true portent till last

Tell the tale of how you stole away

A rumination from a sage

For a cub would fears assuage

Who would find repose upon that face so still

Before me now

A vivid ikon

In flesh somehow

Those eyes aflame

In whose sweet light

All sorrow passes

And bliss ignites

That face so still

Before me now

A vivid ikon

In flesh somehow

Those eyes aflame

In whose sweet light

All sorrow passes

And bliss ignites
