Nine

by Tingster & The Coyotitos The Coyote crossed the seam Beyond the edge of time The clocks stood still The air grew thin No border, wall, or sign He called his name It struck the dark Then vanished where it fell The laws he knew released their grip As something new took hold No walls within No doors to close No shadow left unseen This is the Ninth Dimension Where love becomes the law No living soul can stand alone No wound can hide at all No cry is lost to silence No heart can disappear If sorrow feeds on loneliness It cannot survive here He felt the wounds he carried in Still burning in his chest But every scar he tried to hide Was opened to the rest He felt another heartbeat Like thunder through his own A stranger's grief became his grief No pain remained unknown Fear reached out Then lost its shape With nowhere left to hide For nothing here could seal itself Or suffer locked inside No walls within No doors to close No shadow left unseen This is the Ninth Dimension Where love becomes the law No living soul can stand alone No wound can hide at all No cry is lost to silence No heart can disappear If sorrow feeds on loneliness It cannot survive here What if despair Requires silence What if grief Requires space What if hatred only grows Where love cannot give chase No distance No refuge No corner out of sight No wound remains abandoned When every soul shares light Then the old world spoke his name Come back Return Remain He heard the pull Of former roads And felt their weight again The old scars burned The shadows stirred The past began to call But Sol Coyotl faced ahead And would not let it rule The past can call The past can wound But cannot choose your road The road behind Can speak your name But you decide Where you go I have seen the Ninth Dimension Where love becomes the law Where every soul is carried whole And none can stand apart No cry is lost to silence No wound can own your name The past may speak But cannot keep The soul that walks away I hear it call I feel it fade I'm not going back again The Ninth Dimension No distance No silence No soul abandoned No pain alone
