Journey

Clickerty-clack, clickerty-clack,
Rumbling -safely cocooned-
Steadily along the black track
My untimely end assumed.


Clickerty-clack, clickerty- clack
The dark cavernous mouth ahead
I stare - black- on -black -on -black
Me lying on my silken bed.


Clickerty-clack, clickerty- clack
The darkness swallowing me down
My screams - silent - my death on track
Hypnotised, cold , deeper - drowned.


Clickerty-clack, clickerty-clack
This tunnel consumes me - body and soul
The odds against me stack
Breathe - breathe - that\'s my goal!


\'Come-hither to me,\' \'Come-hither to me\'
The reaper calls, the reaper calls
Down, down sinking in the inky sea
My strength, my body falls and falls.


\'Come-hither to me,\' \'Come-hither to me\'
\'Breathe,\' \'breathe\' whispers the breeze
\'Breathe,\' \'breathe\' whispers the sea
\'Fight it,\' \'fight it\'- \'Please!\' \'Please!\'


There is a light, there is a light
Silken fingers caressing my head
Feathery wings in flight
Lifting my silken bed.


There is a light, there is a light
\'Breathe,\' \'Breathe\' whispers the breeze
\'Breathe,\' \'breathe with all my might!\'
Not my turn to pay the reaper\'s fees!


Clickerty-clack, clickerty-clack
Safely cocooned - riding high
Life steadily back on track
Tonight was not my time to die!


Clickerty-clack, clickerty-clack
My journey continues - no holding back!
