Nightmares
Strengthening chants --- sinister spells
To make life on Earth an easier Hell
Stuck in a book to learn and to teach
Not my place in a church to be preached
Alone in a basement --- a sacred spot
For determining Wicca --- from dot to dot
Keeping the knowledge deep inside
Not mixing knowledge with any of my pride
Regenerating heart keeps getting worse
Too many relationships the same I get to rehearse
Not doing anything but manage to cry myself to sleep
Drowning in a well with all the tears I weep
Remembering vividly what life I have led
Reminds me of who I am when I go to bed
As I lay my head to sleep
Nightmares find their way and creep
Trying to break me every day
Barely holding on --- wondering why I stay...
