Change

Things are about to change, my pet...
Things are about to clear...
The emptiness that fills this place
Will soon be all around!
The darkness that invades the land,
Will settle in your soul...
And when it's over you'll be glad
You forfeited control.
It'll be better, dear, you'll see
With demons all around...
Running amok, pulling the skin
Of all that sit about.
Things will be different, pet. You'll see
And nothing will remain intact...
They'll follow you, you'll follow me
And I'll be leading, then.
Things will be changing, dear, you'll know
The sunsets never change...
The sunrise follows closely, love,
But your blood will never flow.
Your time is up, my pet, you see...
I couldn't slow you down...
But one thing's different, you know...
I didn't say you can.
I'll give you from my hourglass
A couple years of sand,
So you may prosper in your own
And you may shoot me down.
