Magic Carpet

So you rode the magic carpet
And you sailed above the skies
You were taken by the beauty
You were blinded by the lies
As you soared up through the heavens
You could sense the angels sighs
They could see into your future
And they witnessed loves demise
Now you head towards disaster 
With no one to hear your cries
As you cling on to your memories
And the cold wind burns your eyes

Your works have such power... You can say a lot in a few words. That takes talent... and perhaps experience.
