The Devil of the Deserts
Do you know me?
Do you awaken screaming my name?
Do the images of me linger
Into your waking hours?
I am the eternal dream
The unreachable goal
That which you strive for
But never achieve
I am your desire
Your deepest wish
And greatest fear
I am your nightmare
I whisper to you
Like the buzzing of insects
Secrets of the desert
You tell me all your wishes
Your innermost dreams
And hope to see them
I see your nightmares
Drink them in
And refine them
I give you
Your nightmares back
And your screams never stop
Somewhere in the desert
Your screams echo
Like the buzzing of insects
Be now the djinn
While I roam in the world
In your skin
Do you know me?
Do you awaken screaming my name?
Do the images of me linger
Into your waking hours?
I am desperation
The love lost
But always longed for
I am despair
I am the dark
When all light is gone
And you are alone
I am your destiny
I am life!
I give you
Your nightmares back
And your screams never stop
Somewhere in the desert
Your screams echo
Like the buzzing of insects
Be now the djinn
While I roam the world
In your skin
