My Second Chance

In the wake of a full moon When men search for their beloved And wolves are in their fullest potential Surged from the strength of the moonlight A murder of passion is committed Hidden in the darkness from the eyes of man Yet I see the act of rage occur Now I wage war against the death of my own They say I’m safe Hidden from the world‘s eyes Living in the image of one that is inexistent Needless to say I am dead Yet I feel I her eyes Salvage and study my every move Now I’m scared of my shadow And wondering how one night changed my life I hear her foot steps in my dream Running away from her dead lover And a few steps towards And I realize it is not a dream She is reaching out to take my life And I have no power over her I hear the sound of a gunshot And realize that the blood is mine Never knew fear like this before Now I’m awake in apprehension Oh my God it was a dream For me it’s more than that It’s a second chance at life and love A full moon is soon approaching For my new life I rejoice
