The Indian Dreamcatcher
We live in a world where magic is alive
We live with incantation and the surreal
We live with the charmed and the fay
In a world of magic where enchantment swells
In a world where monitoring spirits roam unnerved
Unhindered wrecking havoc emptying laymen's joy
The Indian dream catcher a thing of beauty
The dream catcher a thing of magic and marvel
Is reputed for keeping away the evil sorcerers eye
With the dream catcher we can dream fast in peace
The war fought in the shadows requires totems
To ward off evil spirits and evil inclinations
To keep away unwanted soul trapping and journeying
Like a Christian says his prayers in a puritan society
The dreamcatcher lets us dream in a controlled spectrum
In a world where sorcery and incantation still lives
The carefully woven dream catcher kips evil at bay
The dogs bark and the owl screeches in the night
Ghouls and specters are trapped in a phantom zone
The lone panther stalks the darkness of the night
As a goat tied outside the pen bleats in right alarm
Satiated with the offering the other goats are safe
As the dream catcher kips swaying in the winds of time
A Sherman enters into a trance communing with the spirits
