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...
