Last night I had a dream
Walked a road so dead and haunting
Such a melancholy scene
It was a dilapidated cabin
In the front was a broke down wagon
On a skeleton of a horse who went out ran his course
And I try to peer inside
I see the flicker of fire
It's shining brighter
Painting patterns, perfect silhouettes
And this next part I will never forget
The front door starts to open
And the air is feeling colder
As the Witch, she comes outside
She points into the threshold of the cabin says
It's too cold out here, darling come inside
She says
Come, come, baby come
Come, come, baby come
Come, come, baby come
Feel the warmth of the fire
The road that's in front of me
Is darker than I can see
And I need a light to shine my way
But the fire's warm and welcoming
Should I push on through the mud
Or should I take her hand and forever stay?
It was then I saw the moon
And she smiled down upon me
And advised what I should do
She said: Desire is a powerful thing
We all want a way out with no suffering
I know the fire's call is warm
But if you push on I know you can make it home
Look, I'm familiar with the darkness of that path
And I know that it's ugly
But it's part of the journey
That we all can have
If you stay in this Witch's shelter
It may not seem all that bad
But you'll be doomed in that cabin forever
With a wagon, witch, and dead horse off a path you could have had
The road that's in front of me
Is darker than I can see
And I need a light to shine my way
But the fire's warm and welcoming
Should I push on through the mud
Or should I take her hand and forever stay?
