Shelter from the Storm

Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue, and the road was full of mud. 
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. 

Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured 
I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word 
Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm

Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
In a world of steel eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm

Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm 


Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood

I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word 
Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm

Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
In a world of steel eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm

Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm 

I was burned out from exhaustion, and buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes, and blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn

Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm

Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there 
With silver bracelets on her wrists, red flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully, and took my crown of thorns

Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm
