Every day
|
As you notice the sun slips away
|
A strange turbulence fills the air
|
Gargoyles and winged monkeys
|
Descend into the city
|
Their teeth are bared, their claws outstretched
|
Down in the pit
|
I sense the unforgiving night rain down on the overworld
|
And its souls' unrest
|
As the temptation fades out
|
You jerk back into yourself
|
As if falling from a dream
|
Down comes the rain
|
Hot clear rain
|
Washing away our sins
|
Washing away the statues of Sharon Stone
|
Erosion of my solitude
|
Begins its race
|
And worms finally penetrating the warmth of my hiding place
|
Slithering in the blackness
|
All their coldness repels me
|
I use a .45 to give them some stick
|
Lightning and thunder cause the walls to shake
|
And someone searching through the debris
|
For the photograph of his wife
|
Oh I want life
|
I want it now and forever
|
I want to rise up out of this chamber and clamber into the sky
|
