Beware the devil hidden from sight

In darkened shadows late at night
...

Glazed my eyes through lack of sleep

Coldness through my veins doth seep
...

She shines at parties, such a queen

Her hair all bright, her eyes they gleam
...

My frustrated heart it sometimes weeps
For the words I wish I could speak
To tell you how I am truly feeling
How desire for you it sends me reeling
...

The world to us is a disgrace,
No hope is there for the human race,
People fighting endless wars,
Through no reason, to settle scores,
...

Pale and wan was her face,
Her eyes a sultry green,
Her nose all bent and twisted,
Her black hair straggly unclean,
...

The clouds they drift in aimless sky
Upon this life of mine
The sun is shaded by hidden doubt
No matter how I try
...

Paint a picture of a rainbow,
And a bridge of cobbled stone,
And a lady on the riverbank,
Will surely set the tone,
...

The Foundling

Where are you mum?
Why without me did you leave?
...

As I walk this deathly silent place

My nerves on edge I start to shake
...
