Soul

Just before the darkest hour
I saw a dawn breaking
there was this angel standing
she looked withered and tired.
her wings ruffled and torn

I got up to help
but she yelled stop
don't hurt me anymore
I can't take it anymore

stunned that I was I asked
what is hurting you
and who are you
what brings you here
and what can I do....

I am your soul
and that is hurting me
you have ravished me, plundered me
raped me, murdered me
and I am here to plead stop
tell me if you don't need a soul anymore
and I will silently depart
you won't feel anything
and there will be no pain
you will be like others
living all in disdain

but if you want to keep me
stop killing me
stop killing me
stop killing me.
