I Went the Way You Should Not Go
I went the way you should not go
And found it frought with golden streamers
A world foretold by cybil dreamers.
I went the way you should not go
Uncovered colors neath my skin
The children fed on subtle sin.
I went the way you should not go
Observing all through eyes of grey
The souls forsaken by the way.
I went the way you should not go
And found behind the garish gates
A thousand gifts, a million fates.
I went the way you should not go
Poison trickled in the mud
Torments trained me of my blood.
I went the way you should not go
To chart the roads that you should take
I couldn't bear to see you break.
I went the way you should not go
The faery-rings reflect my face
I lost myself among that place.
I went the way you should not go
New tears arise with every morning
It's too late now to send my warning.
