In shadows the moon dances
Storm coulds swirl in the sky
On this dark and dreary night
Rain drops fall on my window
Lightning rages into my heart
I stare into the blinding
pitch
My eyes open to nothingness
Wondering memories of faces
The long unforgotten betrayal
Thoughts have turned to stone
Cold blood runs in these vains
Black as the feeling in my
soul
Tears of rain and spirit
crushed

WHAT A WOMAN IS
We are more than mothers
We are more than wifes
We are more than lovers
We are more than mall rats.
We are the support you need
We are that light of life
We are a voice in darkness
We are a cry in the night
We are strong when you are
weak
We are here to make life
better
We are a force not slaves to
you
We are women and we have power

VIPERS NEST
I'll make no apologies
for things I never did
but no need for excuses
for what I have done
A collection of shadows
pressed in yearbook pages
all my backstabing friends
who left me out to rust
Take a look into my eyes
my anger is still burning
because of your knifes
that twisted in my back
Walked on a tightwire
step by step carfully
but you cut the rope
I fell without a net
Landed in a vipers nest
you watched with glee
the injustice caused
but I couldn't see you
If I gave you the rope
would you hang yourself
laughing in my misery
made them throw stones
They walked over my shadow
what the hell really happened
I never got any reasons why
you left me damaged in dust
Wasn't I always ridiculed
by the small town fools
rubbing salt in my wounds
because I never did fit in
Walked on a tightwire
step by step carefully
but you cut the rope
I fell without a net
Landed in a vipers nest
you watched with glee
the injustice caused
but I couldn't see you
Someone keeps haunting me
creeping in the darkness
the one who spread lies
played me like a pawn
On the outside looking in
but you no longer hear me
which is why I had to flee
left me nobody to trust
Now I'm not even the same
person that I once was
the scars have come along
never to leave me alone
Lyrics - By Melissa Kay McMahan �

PREDATOR
Lurking in my shadow
how he likes to crow
watches me from afar
I am his fly in a jar
A predator's obsession
I am not a possession
No doubt he is amused
by the way I'm abused
Deeming me as a slave
with the pain he gave
with his twisted trait
dictates my every fate
Predator on my trail
(Faster beat)
I don't know who you are
but I feel your cold eyes
never know when you're near
then you spy on me again
What is it you really want
you have already framed me
they pointed their fingers
and you took it all from me
Demon from the depth of hell
someday you will be through
I'll turn the tables on you
if you slip up and you will
Your dark words came across
like a dead man with prayers
you curtly wrote my verdict
as they passed their judgment
Phantom it was all your fault
hammered in my coffin nails
and I cannot get away from you
I know you're still stalking
me
