The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come


As the rain poured down, upon my head
There came over me, a feeling of dread
A man with dead eyes, pointed the way
Took me to the future, to another day

I wish I could explain, the way I felt
Showed me the cards of fate, I would be dealt

Take it away, cause I don't want to see
All the pain, that's ahead of me
Take it away, this futuristic show
Cause what's in store for me, I don't want to know

His eyes burnt like fire, upon my soul
I know not the purpose, what was his goal
Why me tortured, put through this living hell
Why did this creature, cast his evil spell

I could feel the heat, smell the ash and cinder
As I tried to fight, his eyes begged for surrender

Take it away, cause I don't want to see
All the pain, that's ahead of me
Take it away, this futuristic show
Cause what's in store for me, I don't want to know

As I fell to the ground, upon my knees
I begged forgiveness , I asked him please
In a wink of an eye, I know not how
I was sent back, to the here and now
Rescued from a horrible fate
Given a second chance, before it was to late

Take it away, cause I don't want to see
All the pain, that's ahead of me
Take it away, this futuristic show
Cause what's in store for me, I don't want to know
