" The Awakening "
As the day begins to melt away
And the oak trees begin to sway
A moist night wind begins to blow
I can feel the energy begin to flow
A heavy fog is rollling in
A faint mist falling against my skin
Slipping through the shadows without a sound
In the distance I hear a barking hound
Quite a dismal town this seems to be
So unsuspecting of those like me
Never admitting that I even exist
Complacant with life, the truth they resist
Tonight's the night I reveal to all
And crush their hypocrytical gall
Slipping through the alleyways
Past the diner called Auntie Mae's
Ever so cautious, Quite as a mouse
As I reach the mayor's house
I can feel the storm moving in
And I feel something twitch in my chin
A soft glow coming from inside
Reflecting off the car parked outside
The kitchen light left aglow
On a dimmer switch turned down low
All the sudden the lightening flashes
Two seconds later the thunder crashes
The evening mist turns to rain
I feel the twitch once again
CRASH !!!
Lightening flash !
Pitch black !
As I reach the door at the back
So unsuspecting, nothing's locked
I shut the door and engage the lock
Ease through the washroom
Past the broom
Into the den not making a sound
Through the kitchen the corner I round
I reach the living room and the lights come on
I feel a chill deep in my bones
Fangs exposed in full view
As I catch a glimpse of you
I hear a sound coming from the back
Once again, Pitch Black !
I hear you speak
And all at once my knees go weak
Someone catches me before I hit the ground
The room is spinning round and round
This CAN'T be !
How can this be ?
As the room begins to settle down
I see a woman approach in a velvet gown
She kisses me on the cheek
Very gently and rather meek
Then it hits me what he said
As it reverberates through my head
" Welcome Home My Son "
" I knew all along that you'd be one "
The lights come on but left on dim
I see the fangs protruding from his chin
" We had to let you go, so you could find your way "
" I always knew you'd be back one day "
" Now get your rest my son "
" For there's lots yet to be done "
