Sweet Terror

So unexpected
What my heart’s rejected all this time
A part of me neglecting all the signs
That time has done its thing
The camel can be king
Sweet terror, it’s ok to want to sing

Such liberation
To set the devil sailing from the shore
Now who is gonna greet you at the door?
The best man’s paid the band
The future’s in your hand
Sweet terror, it’s ok I understand

* * *

How terrifying
To walk across the heath your hand in mine
Hoping for strength of heart to know it’s fine
A hawk hovers in stillness
I wonder what my kill is
And where to find the will, sweet terror
To send you over the hill

* * *

Such liberation
To set the devil sailing from the shore
Now who is left to greet you at the door?
An actor takes a role
To make a life seem whole
Telling sweet terror time to leave my tender soul
Sweet terror let me go
Sweet terror let me go
Sweet terror let me go

So unexpected…
