The Surprising

It wasn't quite the curse of Tutankhamen

Or the kiss of death from Judas in the night

And it felt so far beyond the blue horizon

Tempting me with transports of delight

And then the devil took my hand and said

Come along with me

There I was, wide awake and dreaming

Reaching out for something in the sky

But I could not control that trembling feeling

Everything I want is slipping by

And then the devil took my hand and said

Something you should see

I never knew what happened to my nightmare

Everything went dark that August day

And the eclipse was on the other side of somewhere

But I was on the upside of afraid

And then an angel took my hand and said

Come along with me
