The Morning Star (Lyric) by Shardik

I met her at the Cross roads. It was well past 2:00. She said, "Where you going boy?" Like she already knew? She was dressed for a funeral, but sure looked fine I didn't dare ask who's Cause it felt like mine. She said, "Won't you join me for a midnight drive?" To which I did. To which I did. She smelled like a graveyard, But shined as the Sun. She handed me a business card, and said, "Are you down for some fun?" But there was no # just a name, "The Morning Star". The Morning Star. And I tasted sulphur. When I spoke her name. She asked, "If I'd make a wager, to have wealth and fame." She offered me a guitar. That she kept in the trunk. Said that, "It was made in Hell by a most sinful monk. She asked me if I "Played?", knowing damn well I did. I said, "I might, if the price was right." (But I had already lost my soul In a previous fight.) "I don't have no money, a job, or a home. I'm just a Gypsy Bard. Born to sing and roam. She said, "Well that's fine, yes, that's quite fine. I'll still make you mine." And she did, the Morning Star. The Morning Star.

Hmm...if it's well past 2, then it's not really a midnight drive. A 9 nonetheless!
