Pagan

OK, I confess, it’s been me all along, 
It was I who did all the crime,
I am the serial killer of me, 
Of murdering me every time,

The moon’s in bloom in its beautiful cycle, 
I stood by the fire on the beach,
It was I who stood with both feet in the water, 
Rebirthing myself with a speech,

And throwing away the last month of myself, 
Rejuvenating the me inside me,
And listening to the water, earth, wind and fire, 
Cleansing my soul to be free,

Yep, I am the one who kills every month, 
Empties the soul that I had,
And replaces with a new, healthier me, 
I’m a spiritual pagan nomad.

Thanks Line, it was me and a few friends by the river last night during the super blue red moon eclipse. :)
