Manuela Plesh & Stephen Jackson
Whispering Over the Borders
knights
and kings
that
lay
below 
use thy magic, let it flow !
free the snake, let magic glow
raise him high , don't bring him low !
we can
keep the dies rolling and rolling...
how long
do you think?
forever
ending as
gabriel
love in
the time of cholera
heaven
might be close and near 
but snakes
loathe and hide my dear
new prey watch and long and spit
then they hide in their deep pit...

I've been there, knight and king
used the magic as it reels
written so many tales
why you ask am I down into my scales?
reading
thoughts, stealing words 
changing habits at crossroads
dangers from cards will follow
days of joy and bitter sorrow.
you are
angry, I can feel
just
imagine, we are still
and for
time to come and flow it's no need to shed sorrow
just waving the skin of the pond 
to remember the things I am fond
stones from nowhere I may throw
I forgot my arrows and my bow

dragons,
snakes are on the sky
they are
magic, they are high
if they
chose a pit or well
say to
Magic farewell
I might
missed you now and then
hidden
snake in secret den
there are
not cards odds and even
when I'll
meet you up in heaven

just stealing my words, reading my thoughts
almost
forgotten
the odds
just
waving the skin of the pond with stones from nowhere
