Oh dear child.
How I can hear your call.
Your voice is resonant in my ear, both big but yet so small.

Oh dear my child.
Your soul is calling.
Your heart is falling.

Oh my dear child.
Come to me, embrace the truth.
Show your face, so come forth now.

For I see your face, the first time now.
Is what you tell me and your mind.
And I don’t ask why, I do know how.
This same way, once more you shall find.

Your soul pulls you towards me.
Your heart resounds in me.
Your hands reach out to me.

My arms are warm, my presence dear.
With all the love, we share a tear.
All you wanted, without any fear.
I always was, I am always here.

Yet I still see, and I still feel.
How my spikes pierce through your skin.
All that color, all that joy.
Is lost in blood, is lost in blood.

But you still stand, you still embrace.
The pain digs deeper, wounds don’t heal.
With all your heart you still hold on.
Until you realize, it’s all gone.

Slowly now you back away.
Once again you retreat.
Back into the shadows.
Back away into the burrows.

You’ve regained peace.
You’ve regained serenity.
All that warmth, all that calm.
The world wants you no harm.

With certainty you move.
And with words you prove.
Your wounds all start to heal.
Your mind now starts to feel.

Oh dear my child.
Oh dear my life.
Oh dear my soul.

My voice is ringing in your ears.
My words are shattering your fears.
My calls are causing all your tears.

And you still hear, and you still listen.
But you dismiss, you just reject.
You build a fortress, one big wall.
You shield yourself from the world.
Once, and for all.

Yet all the guards.
Yet all the walls.
Yet all the tolls.

They don’t shield.
And you know.
What has to yield.

On just one day.
My voice rings in your ear.
Past all these walls.
Past all these tolls.
My voice keeps calling.
And you pretend not to hear.
Your guards keep falling.
You pretend not to know.
Your arms keep crawling.
Of who I am, and why I’m here.
Your thoughts still gnawing.
Yet you know.
You still remember.
Your ears still feel.
Your legs still reel.

Awakened you arrive inside my arms.
You cry and stare inside my eyes.
You feel the pain from all my thorns.
You still see all my painted horns.
You still hear all the crafted lies.

And yet you are here, still.
Back in the depths of the abyss.
Your heart still pounding stronger.
Your soul still mourning, longer.
Your mind still filled with fear.

Oh my dear child.
You cannot flee.

Oh my dear life.
You are here, to be.

Oh my dear soul,
you are just me.
