Standing in the shadows, I am,
yes, and waiting, I am,
keeping a close & patient watch,
expecting a bit too much
perhaps, but all the same
I shall always be ready & game
when the time is right
and the lights shine bright.

I am no more, no less
than every thing you did suppress,
all you ever rejected, neglected,
yes, hardly even suspected -
your darkest dreams come true.

Invisible, I blind you,
keeping close behind you
with nothing to prove
nothing to move
nothing to explain
nothing to gain
nothing to lose
nothing to choose
nothing to declare
nothing to share
nothing to deny
your selves to defy -
grieving you all, leaving you all
naked & raw to the hungry winds.

I am sudden death & dire solutions,
I am everything you want to run away from.
I am the ghost of unborn revolutions,
I am the spirit of upheavals yet to come.
