Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.
I once heard of a wild woman
From down east Tennessee
Lost somewhere
In the middle of the night
That good old Mephistophelian night
Who whispers so softly
It was said
So captivatingly
If she only spoke your name
If only but once
No matter what you're drinkin'
No matter what you're thinkin'
What you’re wearin
At the end of that long
Good old
Dark Mephistophelian night
No matter how hard you
Fight
How hard
You look for her
Left or right
If she only speaks your name
No matter what pain
You’re going through
You’ll just be another poor
Tainted soul
She’s just claimed
I once heard of a mystic
When I was younger
Lost in downtown
Tennessee
Lost somewhere
In the middle of the night
That good old Mephistophelian night
Who whispers so softly
So captivatingly and
If she only speaks your
God-given secretive name
No matter what you're drinkin'
No matter what you're thinkin'
At the end of that dark night
It’ll be your soul
She’ll be wearing
Riding out onto
The Great Cosmic Plains
On her Pale White Horse
For she heralds the
Age of Cataclysm
I was told
A holy truth
I'm glad I learned
The
Bringer of a New Dawn
Divine Encounters
The fire and the fury
The Great Cleansing
A new Genesis
Before True Peace and love
Returns
I once heard of a wild woman
From down east Tennessee
Lost somewhere
In the middle of the night
That good old Mephistophelian night
Who whispers so softly
It was said
So captivatingly
If she only spoke your name
You'll drown
Swirling lost in her souls
Ever-expanding
Universe
