Scarecrows In the Night
My intent is your soul your soul to upset
I see in your eyes how you pray to forget
Observe my words and hear what I say
I’ve seen your scarecrows that won’t go away
I see that old time has taken it’s toll
I watch you fading while losing your soul
Let's sit here and rest just you and me
Reflections of life and how it should be
The clock on the wall no longer tics
Shadows of time the mirrors it depicts
I see how you’ve made me come to a halt
Your life is a stake let’s look at your faults
This nightmare you live that has no end
The advice you take is killing you my friend
This conflict of heart is eating you alive
Take control of your well if you wish to survive
The guidance that's given has detoured your fate
Release these restrictions before it’s too late
You've been painted to a corner as time closes in
No more following your heart or seeing an end
It pains me to see your shadowed soul
A fate that’s been taken and so will controlled
We’ve started the clock again and again
Take rule of your mind if you wish to win
consider the cost is it worth your life
free your scarecrows that haunt in the night
And so the story goes I lend you a date
Save your life before it's to late
