She reached her hand down to me

And in that moment I could barely see

She led me through tht trees and up the hill

A journey that started from the windowsill

She glanced at me and I could see her face

Skin so pale, eyes black as space

In a soft voice she began to tell

That she would take me to the place where I fell



Through the clearing I began to see

A barren wasteland in front of me

I looked for life but there was none

Then she said, "Look what you have done!"

In her face I could see the pain

Through her eyes I saw myself as Cain

I asked her now, "Where are we to go?"

"In all your wisdom I figured you should know"



"In the center lies a mountaintop"

"That's the point at which I must stop"

"You must continue up to the peak"

"It will be hard but you must not be weak"

"Once you're there, once you're at the top"

"Grasp the ledge and pull yourself back up"

I did exactly what the woman said

Through the window I no longer saw red



No red
