A CROW'S REQUIEM

(© 1997 REJ2)

People and places, they don't mean a thing to me
An end to the lonliness is all I seek
Maybe tomorrow, I'll be holding you again
But tonight, I'll just stick the needle in

So they'll fear the power of the crow
And they'll feel the agony I know so well
But though they'll try to stop me
I have to see this through
To get you back, there's nothing I won't do

I cut through the surface to bring back the memories
They feed my fury, fuel my misery
I didn't look
No, I did what I was told
But now all this loss and despair has left me cold

And they'll fear the power of the crow
And they'll share the tortures of my private hell
But what will I accomplish, when all is said and done?
Is all that waits before me just the harsh kiss from my smoking gun?

And they'll fear the power of the crow
And I'll purge the fire in my soul, as well
So, darling, please forgive me
With demons I must run
There'll be no peace until I am the only one
To stand in the morning sun
And fly with the crow
