Sounds of Nature
Let me listen to you
Let me get lost in the noise
Let me hear the branches crack
in the cold winter wind
Let me hear the birds sing
and their wings beat through the air
Let me hear the water run
under sheets of ice on the creek
I'll stay silent to hear all of this
and more
And when you scream like a banshee
know that I still hear you
Please stop trying to hide
I will come in there to help you
Please
Let me help you
before all that's left
are the empty echoes of your life
Temptation
Ivy snakes slither up knotted trees
Nasty little demons coming to play
They wait like statues for fools to enter, for their
Opportunity to strike
Tails camouflaged by black shadows
Hidden between the bark and leaves
Evil fangs smile and shine in the moonlight
Who will be the first one tempted
On this beautiful All Hallows Eve?
Open your eyes and let the darkness take over
Don't turn from us now for we can help
Submit to our whispers and we'll grant your wish
