LILITH
[Verse]
She rose from dust
But walked in fire
A serpent's grin
Ignites her desire
No crown
No grace
No sacred name
A dark queen who
Plays no games
[Chorus]
Lilith...Lilith
She's as dark as the night
A stealer of souls
A devourer of light
Not a goddess
Not divine
A curse that lingers
The bitter fruit of the vine
[Verse 2]
She whispers lies
In midnight's ear
A lover's touch that
Birthed the fear
No cradle babe safe
No breath could stay
Her hunger burned
Where men lay
[Chorus]
Lilith...Lilith
She's as dark as the night
A stealer of souls
A devourer of light
Not a goddess
Not divine
A curse that lingers
The bitter fruit of the vine
[Bridge]
The wind howls her laughter
Sharp as a blade
The moon hides its face
The stars start to fade
No altar for her
No prayers to be said
She walks in the ashes
She feeds on the dead
Chorus]
Lilith...Lilith
She's as dark as the night
A Stealer of souls
A devourer of light
Not a goddess
Not divine
A curse that lingers
The bitter fruit of the vine
Lilith...Lilith

Five—One Grounding
Five—Locked in a perpetual battle against my failing senses and reason, I fight to survive, to get through; I am afraid of... nothingandeverythingallatonce—...—my mouth is dry, and my muscles seize up... what can I see? I can see the birdcage and birds; I can see the watercolour my beautiful wife painted many years ago and unlocked her journey into art; I can see the empty mug of tea as it sits perilously on the arm of the sofa; how many is that now? Three down, two to go; I can also see a jackdaw on the roof of our neighbour's house across the road and a bookcase of potential—Five things you can see.
