XIII

Inner night Endless fright I can feel her glaze Like I perceive daylight Sat down, shaky stool Dripping, pouring rain The furnace and the fuel Heat up my pain Shiny could be her shawl Her jewels, the stories she's heard Rattling on her shoulders They crawl, under acute words I know why you're here Expecting the truth from me I wonder if you can bear What the cards will have to say I'm just lost, I'm exhausted I've been brought down your way I've been wandering night and day Wondering what they'll say Let me first warn you You might get disappointed You might have to go through A lot more than expected I just can bear it no more I have to figure out The reason I've been brought And knocked to your door Let me first warn you You might get disappointed You might have to go through A lot more than expected So raise your left hand Your right hand on your heart I displayed the cards For you, I will tell them apart The Empress Messenger Bearer of the new start She's ending the tempest High Priestess Knows the door She will read to the core Help confront your weakness The Nameless The Faceless XIII might be scary Healing the Grief that you carry You will recover Someone along the way Might enlighten your day As well as your sight From darkness it'll turn bright If you keep going West You'll be blessed Because you don't have to cry Anymore for your mother
