Chapter 39 The way of the punks is the way of dreams, 2 And of worlds beyond our senses, 3 Of ghosts, and greatwings, and glimmering things, 4 That seize and possess the mind. 5 From our dreams we conjured the Shuteye Train, 6 And the tracks we'll follow to fight, 7 The nightmare that seeks to swallow, 8 Our lives and all of our light. 9 From our dreams we will conjure the Son of the Raptor, 10 Who will take us to visit his realm, 11 And return us with power to set things aright, 12 In the home we've chosen to love. 13 He'll teach us to build, 14 Or to weather his wrath, 15 Which may turn out to be the price of new life, 16 As the Bubonites once found; 17 But whatever it costs, 18 We'll find Doctor Dream, 19 And come back with the wisdom we need. |
