I am bright as a dagger

Eyes of molten golden

Full of the solar rays

of the Lion-headed Sekmet

My eyes they cut into you

and I am sorry

I cut into you

and I did not know

the cost

of earthly delights or

the astral flights

They took me

My power it shook me

Shook me into a little girl again

Small, smiling and full of gentle thoughts

of Nineveh

of dark forests

You do not believe me

And it's okay

I don't need you

I know the way home

 

Night is here

And the sky is black and quiet for once

I do not fear the monsters who hunt

in the cool black quiet

I have traversed the ravines of my soul

I have seen the monsters in the well

I have faced the lion's in their den

I have cut my arms off and bled

I have burned at the stake

 

They took my brother's arm

They tried to do us so much harm, twin

Brother in the dark, in the dusk

Closed in a cage

I was a follower of Christ

Do you remember my fair hair?

You and I,

So lean and fair

I heal my memories now

But they burned me once

and I alone could bear

their evil weight
