The twister has come
Taken you out of Kansas
That was your destiny
With "what" yet to come

You have landed ground
In the Land of Oz
Toto was in your arms
Imaginary, I know, in sounds

Find the Yellow Brick Road
It's path is your path
At the end is the Wizard
Who will tell your answer

Don your ruby slippers
Hope they fit well
You'll have them forever
Until the Gates of Hell?

You will have companions
To protect and help you
Don't look backwards
Flying monkeys follow

No one gets to see the Wizard
A curtain hides his frown
Time to get to moving
Know the Wicked Witch will die

Cloudy summer day
Mind holding life's mirror
Quiet reflection

name this worst cruelty
is it that
which comes from love
is it that
which doesn't end
is it that
which engulfs me
is it that
which pulls one over
is it that
edge of the abyss
is it that
first second of eternity

A chance… finally
to hide… from the moon’s bright eye
to glow… on my own
