Black Water Baptism
By Sean Mc Shane
I seem to walk this Earth, for no real reason
my destiny never forged,
to bring high treason
I walk and I wander, wondering who I can
thank
you'll know me when you see me, I am Blank
Wearing
the color of my heart, to cover my soul
trying to find something,
in this endless hole
when the storms roll in, and all seems
so lost
where's the power of money ? can it pay this cost ?
No hope can be found in here, hail the graveyard king !!
bless
all the free souls around, listen to them sing
I can wander
on with the dead, they expect very little
the bonds of a beautiful
life, are now too brittle
dreams have become reversed-vision,
asleep or awake
whether alive or not, the darkness will take
while hiding on the run, this time it won't work
another black water
baptism, bow down in the murk
come up with a new outlook, much
darker than before
I'm a bastard's bastard, our mother was a whore
I'm looking for that cliffside, freefall into the dream
then
once and for all, they will know what I mean . . .
