Prey and Predator

Time reflects that which we have saught We've wandered over for many a year Never quite knowing what our search was for The memories of an age gone past, guide my steps As I too, wander Staggering on into the abyss that is the on coming life I know not where this jagged path will lead I flee form the shaddows of the night walkers I flee into the hands of daybreak Where I can see the juts in the road The rocks that cut my feet I can see the pain And so I can avoid it When the drapes close upon the sky I lose my way Fall My eyes are blind, My ears can hear The unfamiliar voices that rape my ears The sounds that claw at the walls of my mind They whisper to me I scream at them I tear at them in the dark They taunt me I run on Upon this jagged path Butterflies' blood is strewn across my step The blood of the lamb as well At night when the sounds are in there In my head I become the wolf The lamb as my prey But hush now Don't speak The drapes again pull away Dawn approaches And I am again a butterfly I am again the lamb Time as kept me wandering, on and on Forever more Running form the wolves inside my mind
