XIII

Inner night
Endless fright
I can feel her glaze
Like I perceive daylight

Sat down, shaky stool
Dripping, pouring rain
The furnace and the fuel
Heat up my pain

Shiny could be her shawl
Her jewels, the stories she's heard
Rattling on her shoulders
They crawl, under acute words

I know why you're here
Expecting the truth from me
I wonder if you can bear
What the cards will have to say

I'm just lost, I'm exhausted
I've been brought down your way
I've been wandering night and day
Wondering what they'll say

Let me first warn you
You might get disappointed
You might have to go through
A lot more than expected

I just can bear it no more
I have to figure out
The reason I've been brought
And knocked to your door

Let me first warn you
You might get disappointed
You might have to go through
A lot more than expected

So raise your left hand
Your right hand on your heart
I displayed the cards
For you, I will tell them apart

The Empress
Messenger
Bearer of the new start
She's ending the tempest

High Priestess
Knows the door
She will read to the core
Help confront your weakness

The Nameless
The Faceless
XIII might be scary
Healing the Grief that you carry

You will recover
Someone along the way
Might enlighten your day
As well as your sight
From darkness it'll turn bright
If you keep going West
You'll be blessed
Because you don't have to cry
Anymore for your mother
