Lorraine exits outside the realm of life
But in my heart she always has a home
Her choice to stop the demon cost a price
Her mind became a circus too insane
Believing visions of religious ilk
Lorraine exits outside the realm of life
Now she’s at peace, I miss her but not sad
She stopped the madness, stopped the voices track
Her choice to stop the demon cost a price
I wonder what she would have grown to be?
Would she have overcome the chains that bound?
Lorraine exits outside the realm of life
My sister was my mentor, for a while
Until the life she knew lost all control
Her choice to stop the demon cost a price
And may she rest with knowledge we’re ok
The ones she left behind that fateful day
Lorraine exits outside the realm of life
Her choice to stop the demon cost a price

And may she rest with knowledge we’re ok
The ones she left behind that fateful day
Lorraine exits outside the realm of life
Her choice to stop the demon cost a price
