It’s a big day today, a lot of stuff to work on It’s a big day today, gotta put my nails, and shoes on! It’s a big day today, the sky is purple with the slightest of gray Yeah, the slightest of gray I gotta go out there, before the sun hits the horizon line I got some words on my mind Got to tell her that I am better than fine My magic is divine It's scary the sight of my Power It’s weary, stay away from my Power Control it Have to learn how to control ‘Cause if I don’t Know if I don’t Don’t know what will happen If she sees my Power and thinks the least I got to make this work out for me I know it’s gonna work out for me But it’s this Bug O’ Butter’s funeral Got to go support the Witch I want to be apart of her home A home… 4

Is it me, or is it getting a little hard to breathe Is it me, or is the world turning Black from Green Is it me? Or can you see those eyes in the clouds? I think they are staring at me Can you believe? They are so grand, so big, and so scary Are they going to get me? Can anybody hear me? Is it me? I’m kinda scared Don’t know where Don’t know why Don’t know how But I feel fainting now It's getting hard to breathe The air is thick around me Am I falling? Am I falling? So hard to breathe … There’s so many people standing around me I guess I’m laying in the dirt

There’s a beautiful Voice She's staring at me Shes upset, oh no, there's no glee Is she mad at me? I can not BREATHE THE FIGURES ARE TURNING BLACK THE TEETH ARE SO HUGE IT’S HURTING ME IT’S HURTING ME!! The sent right now So icky So sticky What's happening to me And why are they laughing at me?

It’s Her And She’s beautiful She’s getting God, She’s Beautiful And She’s Staring At me Her nails are Long You See Everything about Her is drawing me Further & Further In. A Soft Hum comes from the Red Room Spiky Skin, Lilac perfume Sleep comes Deep, in the Red Room Suffocating in Air, Body doesn’t move Cry from Your deepest Fears in the Red Room Angel Essence Removed Brain make room It’s time to enter the Red Room

“Honestly, I don’t want Her to be a part of my shit! Honestly, this girl needs to go away, She’s a jit! Honestly, I don’t have time for people to do stuff like this! It’s my Bug O’ Butter’s funeral! And She’s making it all about her! The way She’s passing out, singing songs And thinking it’s gonna be everything She wants it to be Because That’s how she wants it to be! No! NO! She’s not gonna join me and be a part of my Coven! Which is full of Queens When She’s just a peasant Herself! What’s Her Power?! No one even knows! Yeah, that’s what I thought Stay sleep! Ugh! Girls these days! Thinking they can just show up and be a part of me! This is my family! I don’t care what is wrong with her Try to heal if you want! I’m Leaving!" 8

I can taste the electricity running through this body. The Power It’s awaking me Oh, Hello! You’re very handsome Don’t you know Oh my body is so grateful She’s saying thank you, thank you She’s watching this old woman walk away Aww, it hurts her feelings Why does it hurt your feelings? I can fix it. I can Destroy her. I can destroy them all. Just because they think you are weak Does not mean they can not fall Don't you understand It’s delicious The Power I hold I’ll start with the Old 11

Did you forget? I Am Everything. I Am In Control. Listen. My Beautiful Demons My Elegant Destroyers Listen Come back from behind the sky From behind the clouds From which you hide This land deserves Punishment It has stumped on the necks of the innocence Let down the good And let the evil conquer For far to long They will think you are the evil They are wrong You will be my vessel of judgment Take their Lives It’s not like they appreciate having them They will fight you I will too But I’m with you And together we will conquer this land From the Ratchet Cynical Thoughtless 12

Thank you for waking me up Thank you For getting my body Back to where She belongs Sweet Innocent You did your job well Oh you talk so nicely Sir Farewell I hope you Keep Your Head Hehe

Now that I’m alone And My Demons are Coming From my Clouds I’m A God Now The World Is Mine Now Oh, the things I’m going to do Once it's completely conquered I believe I will have a feast Of course my Demons will be full From eating all of the People Witches Fairies Bug O’ Butters Every Living Organism I Think I’ll have fruitOh hello! What's wrong my dear? How sad,she’s dead. Of Course she’s dead! Oh no, that made my body cry I’m happy she’s dead Do you know what she said to my body! Did you know she insulted my body! I say, she deserves to be dead! As she should be As she is! People like her are what’s wrong with this world She didn’t see the good thing while it was good. She thought because my body was good She was weak Well I’m not weak At All.

“My grandmother’s Dead! Yes! She’s Dead! How can it be! Let me tell you outside the things I can see There are creatures coming out from the clouds Some of them have wings Some of them came straight outta my nightmares It was holding her head The blood was everywhere I couldn’t even bring myself to fight it She was already gone Her love was gone Her grace was gone And all of those memories flashed in a instant I wanted to go with her But I can’t I’m here I supposed to be here, because I’m a Healer I know that your hurt right now So I came back I couldn’t protect her But I can protect you And I can protect others We can go out We can find survivors And I’ll put my life on the line for them! We are going to fight! We are going to rise! They can’t take the world! I won’t let them, I swear! Honestly, I’m scared Just knowing that the Demons are here Prophets, taught about this day They said, We can live through this! They are right Come on, Let’s Fight!” 16

Oh, Really

Go, Now! Every women Every crying baby Especially their fathers Tear them apart Eat them! They are only your meal! And you are fighting for them?! Don’t you see that they’re dead! Don’t you see that all hope is lost?! Yet you’re fighting for them! Splatter their blood! Kill them All Hang their bodies from the outside of the church It will be beautiful

All the wrong! Show no mercy All the wrong! Kill them all To be thinking about saving these animals These people who know nothing but causing pain I’m taking the role of the Judge Today is the day of judgment! And to pay for your crimes You will die a painful death Your seeds don’t even get to live Because of the crimes of the wicked The world is deemed guilty I’m done letting this world grow was a weed It’s time to get pulled Your selfishness killed you You find selfishness in hell

I’ll bring hell to you Don’t be scared now Running Screaming Crying KILL THEM ALL! Leave no survivors Except for this One Leave him to me Let him see The pain I’ll show him There is no such thing As a Hero The pain he will endure Your grandmother dying before your eyes was not enough No Wait until I’m ripping your skin apart.

To Be
