Fate's Door

Rain pelts down all over the city

Tearing down its merciless streets…

A woman desperate for some answers

The empty years and wretched blues…

Passed with some recent news

But the fear of the unknown still stalks her mind

There’s a house way down the road – and fate’s door

It’s a house – not a home – Death awaits – on its own

There’s nothing more…

Just a half dead kid and his father’s corpse

The boy was tortured here

The evidence all makes that clear

Mommy kneels n’

holds him terribly near

Every question needs a word – for comfort

December’s door’s ajar – and it’s the only path

The rhythm of the past – won’t get you very far

December’s door’s ajar – no light shines in it’s path

It’s increasingly harsh – and increasingly daft

While the door is still ajar – I’m frightened!!

You saved me

from my worst nightmare

Save me from myself!
