In sheltered rooms, showered in fairy light
We went to bed dreaming of Gods,
of heroic worlds.
We were waiting to be chosen.
It was only a matter of time…
Until we were allowed entrance,
Until the truth was revealed,
Until the power was placed in our hands,
Until a legendary sword came to crown us kings, queens and knights.
We would lay awake for a few moments,
Sneaking glances at the window
Just to see,
Maybe Peter will show up tonight.
It was only a matter of time.
Neverland was waiting.
Aware of reality and set adamantly against it,
We prayed not to grow up
‘Mummy, don’t wake me up,
I’m flying’
But at the same time we wanted to rise…
To be heroes and knights
You must be big and wise
And It was all a matter of time.
There was a place beyond the setting sun
And towards it we would ride
Because there everything ends happily
And everything is Right.
It was all waiting there; Glory, Love…
Fiestas set up just for us
To be draped in bay leaves,
Decorated with golden beads,
Given the heroine kiss
Because we fought with thieves
And slayed all the dragons.
Because we were the Noble and the Good
We were the light, we were the Sun
But as a matter of time…
Something happened
And it all turned a little darker
Now in the mirror I see the villain, I see the foe
He is the answer to the ‘prettiest of them all’
I feel I know him more, I understand him
I think, perhaps I even love him.
We share a drink,
We cloak ourselves with smoke
And we talk
About the times when Good still, was our soul
I see through his terrifying scars,
What we were, what we are,
A hook that covers a missing part,
A sharp, lethal weapon replacing empty hearts,
Harshness to match the beauty that’s lost,
Shadows covering bright eyes
Fear of the sound of the crocodile
With the ticking clock for a heart.
Oh no, Run! It’s ‘Time’!
Villains we are now, turned,
Returned as damaged goods,
For, that world beyond the sunset
had a set of rules:
‘No entry’ for the bold,
‘No Entry’ without gold,
‘No Entry’ for the dark
Who lost their light
When they were wounded in the Fight.
