The Messenger

She sang to me a sweet, sweet melody 
To comfort my restless mind 
Finding it hard to speak 
And even harder to breathe 
She began to speak of things 
So descriptively 
So innocently 
About how the end was to come 
And what the world had done 
The candlelight revealed a thousand diamonds 
Hidden deep within her eyes 
And with every word she mentioned 
I could see them cast an accurate reflection 
Of the beautiful destruction that was to come 
She sang to me a sweet, sweet, melody 
About how the tides would rise 
And wash away the memories 
Of lovers, and of there families 
A beautiful end to the madness that was 
Emptiness 
And selfishness 
When the poor man's stone house rumbles 
The proud man's straw house crumbles 
The candlelight revealed a thousand diamonds 
Hidden deep within her eyes 
And with every word she mentioned 
I could see them cast an accurate reflection 
Of the beautiful destruction that was to come 
She sang to me a sweet, sweet melody 
About how the buildings fell 
And how in the midst of a split-second tragedy 
The world opened it's eyes to see 
Truth, but it was covered up by their lies 
About hate 
Designed to seperate 
But a thousand well-spoken lies cannot hide 
The fact that one day we all die 
The candlelight revealed a thousand diamonds 
Hidden deep within her eyes 
And with every word she mentioned 
I could see them cast an accurate reflection 
Of the beautiful destruction that was to come 
She sang to me a sweet, sweet melody 
Of fire, of chaos, of starting over 
As the images began to increase 
I could hear the near-by streets 
Begin to sing a chorus that reflected this truth 
Gun shots awoke 
My shred of hope 
That the end was coming tonight 
But oh, it was all just in my mind 
The candlelight revealed a thousand diamonds 
Hidden deep within her eyes 
And with every word she mentioned 
I could see them cast an accurate reflection 
Of the beautiful destruction that was to come 
The end was brilliant, encapsulating
Mesmerizing and intoxicating
The end was there within her eyes
The end that was still to come...
I could hear the near-by streets 
Begin to sing a chorus that reflected this truth 
Until the moment I awoke
And lost this shred of hope 
That the end was coming tonight 
But oh, it was all just in my mind 
The candlelight revealed a thousand diamonds 
Hidden deep within her eyes 
And with every word she mentioned 
I could see them cast an accurate reflection 
Of the beautiful destruction that was to come
The end was brilliant, encapsulating
Mesmerizing and intoxicating
The end was there within her eyes
The end that is still to come...
