I woke up
despite my head
to see the trail I blazed last night with the words I said
still she laid there in the charred and smoking wake of fears I fed
then she got up
to look around
muttered words I’d never heard a human sound
then from her hair grew forty serpents
from her eyes a fiery shroud
from her mouth came forty voices and I heard them cry aloud...
I tried my best
to calm her down
there wasn’t any of her left but evil now
I cast a spell, a stone, a tranquilizing needle and a prayer
she grabbed me by the bones and shook my flesh and said I swear
the sun won’t cast no shadow anymore
the willows never weep
and the wind will never moan
now she is gone
I don’t know how
not even sure just where it is I am right now
there’s only darkness and the absence of any air that I can breath
I could’ve sworn that I was warned but how could anyone believe
the sun won’t cast no shadow anymore
the willows never weep
and the wind will never moan
