Forbidden City Lyrics by Tom Rapp

Sunforest

0

Rapp
Trembling with death
The signs clack in the air
Like windchimes
In the forbidden city
The winter carves white silhouettes
Along the avenue
And everything is simple
And everything is new
The blonde-faced lady is frozen
With one hand waving around her neck
Like an alabaster statue
And jewels encircle like a chain of ice
And all that moves around her is the light
In the forbidden city
All things are made of glass
Red and gold bands form in the frost
As the light goes past
Ideas pause waiting to be born
And I have always thought of snow as peace
A snowparched stone falls in a pond
No circles form again, again, again, again
And there is an end
Of pain
Trembling with death
The signs clack in the air
Like windchimes
