The Awakening Part ll
A gentle touch like that of a dove
As she takes my hand with her black leather glove
The woman in the red velvet gown
Takes me to the stairs and leads me down
An intracate staircase, extravagantly detailed
Like nothing my eyes have ever beheld
Black velvet carpet adorning every stair
As I make my way down to the lair
Every step is adorned with six crimson rubies
Three to the left and three to the right, Ten Karat beauties
An oak railing etched with gold
An extravagant site to behold
Six hundred and sixty six steps down, we reach the lair
All the sudden she's no longer there
Standing alone I look around
Eighteen candles the room surrounds
Black vevlet carpet on the floor
Ten Karat rubies there are one hundred more
A solitary coffin in the center of the lair
So extravagant it casts a glare
The edges are laid in 24 karat gold
High gloss black with my name written bold
In 24 karat gold written in Latin
The inside lined with purple satin
I can feel the dawn drawing near
I slip into the coffin knowing I have nothing to fear
As I close my eyes the top draws down
As if automated by the motion of my eyelids falling down
