take a left
take a right
look behind you
kill the light
the shadow lives
and fear is in the air
be careful what you wish
you might not want it there
be ready for the demon
the beast that dwells inside
so calm your breath
and quickly try to hide
the signs are all around you
with questions rising high
hush and don't make a sound
for sound now will make you die
so enter the sign
in the blank on the wall
and hold your dagger
pray your skin won't crawl
for the end is all around you
you cannot fool it now
maybe the future you want
can manifest somehow


 "There were times in my life
when I was going insane
tryin to walk through
the pain
when I lost my grip
and I hit the floor
yeah I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door" - Aerosmith "Amazing"

From one die hard Aerosmith fan to another and I went to a concert in the 70's (dating myself) this was

"How do I love thee? Let
me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Ok, I'm intrigued!
I interpreted this in more than one way, so I'll leave it up to
my imagination!
Nice to see you back if only for a day!
Great Poem, what ever the meaning behind it!

thanks you two.  I did try to have more than one meaning to this one.  partly because I'm into a book right now and the main character has yet to be identified as good or evil.  

and I missed the last aerosmith concert I was able to go to (back in 96 I think) so I'm just waiting for the next opportunity here.  hehe
