The Naughty Villain

It took a long time
It took a special lie
To see the rushing river
Washing over me at night
It took a longing for
Some new sight
Something you’d never seen or heard of
In your whole life
It took a hundred nights to see the whole sky
It took a hundred more to wake up and return to life
I was the naughty villain (he was a bad guy)
I got too lost
I was the buried treasure resting deep beneath the moss
Open up the door to see
Giant still standing next to me
Looks at me with crimson-colored eyes
Wanting me to read from the Book of Lies
What would you do in the giant’s shoes?
Hope and pray for some good news
Hope and pray for some good news
Hope and pray for some good news
