A Dream Called Erelah

I awake with the sweat of a distant dream....

Thinking of what I'd seen
Remembering what was in my mind's eye
Such sad, sad thoughts of a time gone by

I remember the heat of the desert and the dangers of camouflage men
of small remote villages.......and the people within

I recall a child.......I can still see her smile
Black was her hair, her hands they were oh so small
I can still see her face.........I remember it all

Erelah, yes that was her name
and ever since I met her my life's not been the same

She'd come to our station almost everyday
coming for her hunger, always to play
running round and round, hiding from us all
I still can hear her laughter........ I remember it all

Such a small girl, born into a ruthless world
A world where men prey upon men, and life is simply discarded like sand to the wind

Sunlight and shadows
One illuminates while the other falls
As days become weeks, distant voices call............

Messages of distress come over the wire
speaking of death, fire
of a small village, of evil men who rape, murder, and pillage

Cloaked with the tools of Azreal, the tarmac erupts
Awash in wind and sand, we're elevated into the air
Nap-of-the-earth quickly, mountains, valleys pass by fast
Distant souls burning, we ascend upon the village at last

Pyre smoke engulfs the senses, as it swirls around and around
Hovering high above, we descend swiftly to the chard ground
Toils of men are revealed in the dawn's light
The departed are scattered about as we scour for signs of life

From one burnt structure to another
We find nothing but hopelessness and despair
Only the dead and the dying, Iblis has been here

A familiar door, one I passed through many times before
Reluctantly I peer in, and to my great sadness I'd see
Little Erelah laying by her mother, still deep within a "dream"

But from this "dream" she'll not awake, nor shall she ever play
Both her innocence and life were taken

Never to learn to read, never to learn to write
Never to run and sing again, due to man's mindless strife

I promised to protect the children ever since that day
And always defend them against man's evil ways

And never ever forget her
That angel from above, or her simple message

LOVE.........

To me she was a moment of Spring, in a lifetime of endless Winter
She is but a dream..........

Unforgiven

I can't seem to stop dreaming of the scattered bodies that lay along the way
They lost their lives years ago, but still live in me till this day

I can still see their faces, their eyes watch me so
My mind takes me to these places, to torture my troubled soul

And I'm tortured for taking the only true possession we have in this world
LIFE.....

and I've taken it from the young, and from the old
And this has made my heart heavy, blood cold

Sleep....I can never truly sleep
Each time I lay my head to rest, they come for me
Taking me back to that time when they lived and breathed

Doomed... am I doomed to dream on and on, nightmare after nightmare, until my soul is gone?

Oh, how I pray they'll leave me and let me live my life
For it seems I cannot find love with this horror that's inside

I wish I could be as a child who never lost their innocence
But this wish can never be until I'm forgiven for my sins.......

Amanda

I've seen a lot of places
I've seen a lot of pain

I've seen of so many people
Give their love in vain

I've walked on every continent
Swam in every sea

But when it comes to truly seeing things
There's nothing like you to me

You are kind
and you are good

You show love for most everyone
Just like we all should

To me you are like an angel
With wings that let you fly

So, when I say, "I love you"
You can bet it's not a lie

For my love for you is true
and it's a love that will always be

Again, I say, "I love you"
and hope you always love me....
