"Find me." he would softly whisper
in my ear while I sleep.
"Come closer and see all the things
you've never seen.
Can you see me yet? " he asked.
my heart is beating very fast,
I'm running barefooted in the sand.
I can feel the terror hissing at my mind
I'm lost another time.
Not too far away,
I could see ravens out eating on scraps
of the dead that has lost their heads.
I could see the old black magic women
doing her witchcraft,
casting her lies around like... a scripture
with no truth in it,
drinking on a bottle of wine just killing time.
"Oh, shattered memories, " she would say.
"come to me and bring on more pains! "
I would see her slaves dancing around by caves
She looked at me then,
like she is digging deep within my soul.
" I'm not letting you in so go on and take back all your sins.
get out of my head stay away from my mind
you take up too much of my time! " I yelled.
the shore sounds at peace even in my darkest dreams
the sand feels so good underneath my feet.
Oh, crying winds, why do you come to me again?
I can see the paintings on the stained sand
burning up like many witchcraft books.
The words are painfully sharp
that once cut deep within my heart.
I will face all my fears and hold back all my tears.
I will give back all this rain
and pains that never seemed to go away.
Oh, Dark Angel moves along play your old sad song.
Do you feel the shame and blames
Did I push your way?
OH, Please, let me turn up the rain,
let me dazzle you with my kindness
that you called weakness.
Your reflection left you marked
and your spells no longer work.
so, what do you have to say for yourself?
the tables are turned
be careful what you wish for.
