A Dead Channel Blues

I was awake when no one else was
I had a start, don't blame it on me
It had begun, I've almost split in two
Fear of the dark, we're almost into
A dead channel blues at my most stoic
We are the kids of witches you would burn
And you with the soul at my most beautiful
I was awake, I won't blame you if you weren't
I will know the players and the pawns
Few would know the fires and the stones
I will know the craters and the storms
I will know
