Hear me, see me, feel me, breathe me,
I am here, I see you, I feel you...
Hear me, see me, feel me, breathe me,
I am here, I see you, I feel you...

For too long I have languished, in a black pit of despair, the walls dripping with blood and bile, for too long I have languished, in a black pit of despair, the walls slick with blood grease and bile.

I have prayed and I have suffered, I have begged the sun to show his face, I have committed suicide in the name of love, I have prayed and I have suffered, I have begged the sun to show his face, I have driven a stake through my heart in the name of love.

Like the phoenix I have risen, from the ashes of my own destruction, I am a newly hatched butterfly waiting to take flight, like the phoenix I have risen, from the ashes of my own destruction, I am a new moon rising over dark fields at night.

I am the wind, I am the fog, I am a solitary rose, I am the high and lonely cry of an eagle, I am the wind , I am the fog, I am a new moon rising, I am the soft, damp Earth, after the storm has passed over.

I am the ocean, I am the stars, I am the tides ebbing and flowing, I am winter's frozen sun hanging broken in the sky, I am the ocean, I am the stars, I am the ebb and the flow of tides, I am a new moon rising over dark fields at night.

Hear me, see me, feel me, breathe me,
I am here, I see you, I feel you...
Hear me, see me, feel me , breathe me
I am here, I feel you, I see you...

Wonderful, Vulpine!

A tenuous touch of The Who's "TOMMY" with overtones of despair and sorrow! You've captured something here that is normally to wispish to be tied down! Great writing!
