Prelude to a Storm (6/22/99)

she is on her knees, her hands ground into the dirt
the entire ocean's depth could not absorb the hurt
she is broken and defeated and tired of trying
she has forgotten what use there was in crying
burn her from the inside, ravage this broken form
let the starlight rain down as a prelude to a storm
let the melody of despair hold her in tender embrace
as the last breath of soul departs without a trace
the guilt rides heavy on her shoulders tonight
the broken trusts and many a one sided fight
the words of insanity and the pleas of hope
have wound all together in one strangling rope
burn her from the inside, ravage this broken form
let the starlight rain down as a prelude to a storm
let the melody of despair hold her in tender embrace
as the last breath of soul departs without a trace
there will be no salvation upon this barren rock
time has grown dim with the ticking of her clock
the song of the wind has come set her soul free
to dance with the dead in the mists of the sea
burn her from the inside, ravage this broken form
let the starlight rain down as a prelude to a storm
let the melody of despair hold her in tender embrace
as the last breath of soul departs without a trace
