Two Ghosts In My Bedroom

Two Ghosts in my Bedroom



Sound asleep and coming 
They think that I will be running
Two ghosts in the night
Greet me with their plight

Alas, they do not understand 
That I am the leader of the band
With spirit free and strength of heart
I show them how to depart

First ghost comes with tortured face
As if he dies in big disgrace
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, I pray
As I send him on his way

Transfixed, I stare at this amazing sight
Room fills with white and blinding light
And tortured soul no more
Walk through that invisible door

Next ghost walk towards me
Thinking that I am about to set him free
How a young sultan could be so demanding
I look at him, and leave him standing
