When that glass picture shatters into a thousand pieces
And the black cat walks across your path
For a bird flies in your window
On a dark storming Hollow's Eve.

When the midnight sun rises
And the owl hoots across the alleyway
The windows creek in the pale dark wind
That etches across the sky.

When the mist sprays up over the darkened sand
On a lonely winter's beach
And the lone cry of a newborn dove
Pierces through the air.

When ignorance turns into the darkest of devils
And in the depths of hell you reside
Only threatening clouds and teardrops of rain
Can sizzle and hiss the rage.

When the monster keeps you awake into the night
And the wish of closure compels you
The solitary mistake of a childhood gone wrong
Is the conductor to the end of the world.

When the guillotine makes its final descent
And the world stands still in silence
The purest of whites are blood stained red
And the hope of tomorrow is lost.

When the last storm of a dying era
Over turns the oldest of trees
A mournful cry of a broken man
Sticks a knife deep into your heart.

When the solitary words of a broken spirited being
And the numbing touch of death over-take
It is the final breath of painful air
That sends shivers down your spine.

When the dirt is put back in place
And only the grief is left to be dealt with
A lone transparent angel
Hovers above the cold ground.

When the mournful shriek of those loved and those lost
And the words of comfort do nothing but cool the soul
It is the end of the clickity clacked train tracked journey
And the beginning of another flight.
