Where's there's kindness, there's goodness And where there's goodness, there is magic But kindness is too much a hassle for the frail hearts of today So goodness doesn't shine on through, like the sunshine on a summer's day So magic is forever lost in these ancient tales Because we're all children that have wondered off their trails But oh so seldomly there's a stranger in your path That will calm your soul's wrath It won't be easy You won't be kind But I hope the stranger soothes your mind It won't be easy But it might be a delight To have someone to warm you at night And then you'll see, oh child of mine Your walls, that were meant to confine Are all, but divine So be good Be kind Let the stranger in And the magic you will find.

The Stranger
Within the fog, a light flickering And when it caught his eyes The voices in his head ceased the bickering Silence filled the scene Reality stopped being obscene He ran towards it, blind as a bat No longer did he wallow where he sat A light, the thrill, so bright, a chill Brighter and brighter it got What a beautiful shot ... Mesmerizing and terryfing as looking down the edge of a big hill He was helped by a long gone friend ... Will Will to run, will to go into the unknown, will to go to the shimmer With fantasies it would make life have no dimmer Always bright, forever full ... Oh, how beautiful He ran and ran and ran And finally arrived at the lights source That would forever change his life's course It was a shinning nymph of the name of Passion She greeted him in such a caring fashion She was something so new, but already he knew Home had been found, they'd forever be bound Numbness was no longer his concubine Passion will now his soul define

Passion's Finding
No one is ever "just tired" Something changed in the way you were wired Connections were severed Consequences unmeasured As you wondered through the alley Side to side No place to hide Side to side Lost in the tide Side to Side Don't let your pride subside Softness will be the disguise But look into my eyes Scarlet red I'll rise again, just like the undead And when that moment comes When you'll be hanging by a thread I shall bring the scissors And watch you bleed, as I bled Let the coldness reign You'll no longer feel insane And from the seed of pain Will grow the tree of the inhumane
