Red Eye Roaming
Based on a character from Stephen King's The stand
Like an alien that is lost in an angry land
Sunburnt and scorched in the savage soul sand
I see for miles and miles
Feasting on fear, misfortune and misery
You long for my lies and my lunacy
Knowledge...you think that you killed
Still I am all knowing...not saying or showing
I'm on a nightmare flight with my red eye roaming
Lost ones I find in desolate dreams
I'm a wolf at the wishing well soon to fulfill all of your wants and all of your needs
I scan over your skin and sex you up with silence and invisibility
I overthrow the overlords...the mortal mice that hold the kingdom keys
They call me the last magician of the outlandish and obscene
Stalking from shadows...pure paranoia it gives me great peace
Invading your isolation like a monster of means
A black stone I'll give you for your service to me
You roll the dice of risk and it keeps on rolling
Logic now levitates as my fury is flowing
I claim a chaos crown with my red eye roaming
I travel through time like sandworms in storms
I go crazy in cyclones spinning out of control
I'm a dead end to Demascus on a blinding bad road
I'm a deadly detour unto your divine destiny
I switch the scene when I see children of light are coming
I'm a shape shifting serpent in a suicide stream
I am the wolf
I am the crow
I am the rattlesnake
My time is too short like a clock on a crucifix
I'll kiss you with lips of love and of loathing
Hells hour comes round with my red eye roaming
