( Crystal-gazer)

I followed the old road up the mountain,
         at night the mist grows thick.
         My heart started beating fast,
   then I seen the light of a candlestick.

     As I entered the decrepit old house
        there she stood in the hallway
         Her eyes they lit up the room
   as I asked myself why am I here today

      She said You wandered all your life
       You fly with a crow upon my back
        and a wolf that walks beside you
        but your past,has faded to black

        As she stared at her Crystal ball
             and said I do see a vision
   You will continue fighting your demons
    but soon be forced to make a decision

  Trapped at the crossroads in your mind
       and your soul bleeds for answers
      Standing in the darkness all alone
    Your spirit follows the lonely dancer

       But in the end I see a bright light
Your inner strength will over come the pain
  unlocking the true beauty of your heart
     And on that day you will shine again
