Inspired by the lyrics of Shadows of the Valley
From The Book of Souls Album of Iron Maiden

Here is my take on their song . . . 

In a dark nightmare I am roaming without a purpose
Searching in a surreal dead world
Holding my woe
Wishing for the sun again
O, can I find my home
My doom is in the flight of sightless black crows

I hear intently the crows sharp caw
Wishing that my life will not over
In this dark world I see a black door
Oh, gosh could use a Pepsi Cola-
I open the door and step inside
Hope something evil will not collide
Now, there are so many gathered crows
Flying high or sitting and staring- oh, please NO
Please God take me away from this place
Wonder if I run will the crows give chase
Fear inside of me is giving me courage
I must be strong 'cause the crows are following

God I have questions
Will tell you the truth
Hear my cry for help
God I don't want to die
Listen to my prayer
I am calling your name
My life cannot be over
I have just begun

Yes, the crows are following me
I can hear their dark feathers sigh
Oh, if I had a dagger they would die
What is it that they want from me
Don't be a coward face the danger
Strength and courage will end this
Being honest I know that I can't kill
I don't want their blood to spill
Every creature is precious to God
So, I must swallow this urge of violence
As it is a crime
Am I in the shadow of the valley of death
I hold my breath ... waiting

God I have questions
Will tell you the truth
Hear my cry for help
God I don't want to die
Listen to my prayer
I am calling your name
My life cannot be over
I have just begun

Strength and courage will end this
Being honest I know that I can't kill
I don't want their blood to spill
Every creature is precious to God
So, I must swallow this urge to violence
As it is a crime
Am I in the shadow of the valley of death
I hold my breath ... waiting

God I have questions
Will tell you the truth
Hear my cry for help
God I don't want to die
Listen to my prayer
I am calling your name
My life cannot be over
I have just begun

Am I in shadow of the valley of death
I hold my breath ... waiting

God I have questions
Will tell you the truth
Hear my cry for help
God I don't want to die
Listen to my prayer
I am calling your name
My life cannot be over
I have just begun

Am I in the shadow of the valley of death
I hold my breath ... and wake up
