Victim Driver Killer Mistress: A story told through song

Chapter 16: But not Longer than the Wind Blows

January 18th, 2010

"That part of you is over now. I know what happened. I know you're sorry. I know it's not your fault."

The Mistress dug herself in between the Killer's arms, "Thank you... but my time to grieve is much longer than the time it takes to apologize."

I stand beneath the bough
naked from the Fall
and underneath its leaves
I find something unseen
Cause nothing here will grow
though many seeds are sown
The leaves all feel obliged
to soak up all the light

And a mighty wind will blow
arranging as it goes
the things we left unsaid
The wind will say them best

The sea she loves to dance
uplifting throngs of men
who would use her to retain
everything they've gained
But she will not be made
some elemental slave
She calls her brother home
to let her anger show

And a mighty wind will blow
The sea rages below
Filling sails with grief
and pulling men beneath

And a mighty wind will blow
The reed that bends will grow
but the tree that tries to take the wind
will surely break

And a mighty wind will blow
