Abigail Williams

In certain situations, it is difficult to tell who the real witch is

Abigail Williams

Turbulent are these waters I tread

Nuclear meltdown is imminent
(It's time to let the violence commence)

When the hell did my life become this damn complex?

Caught are the righteous is Havoc's hex

But still I pretend, for I know I cannot make amends

I am trapped in this wretched web I've woven

From this trial, how will I emerge?  Of destruction I am on the verge

Apprehension approaches again to dance with me in this reversed pentagram

Morpheus has been refracted by selfish intentions

Now gone are the roaring rains of redemption

(Let the world be silently scourged)

Bedlam has cast a spell I find I cannot quell

From this trial, how will I emerge?  Of destruction I am on the verge

Apprehension approaches again to dance with me in this reversed pentagram

I've been lynched by the guilt from the lies I cannot confide

To those who wrote the laws by which I swore to abide

I know I cannot eradicate the demonic distress I've unleashed

The emotions I have bewitched in cowardice so mindless

Threaten to drag me down into the depths of madness

From this trial, how will I emerge?  Of destruction I am on the verge

Apprehension approaches again to dance with me in this reversed pentagram

Writer's Note:  I am finally back, and my creative meter is more full than it has been in quite a while.  My senior year of high school is proving to be exhausting, but everything is going well.  I have good grades, I know what I career I want to pursue(finally) and what college I want to go to, and I'm having a great time.  I may be back, but I won't be coming on the site as much as I used to, because school takes top priority, and my homework leaves me little, if any, time to write songs nowadays.  As usual, tell me what you think of these lyrics, and please be honest! :)

This is an awesome write buddy! I am so glad you're back. You are one of my favorite writers to read on here... I always enjoy what you share :)

[DoormanDan]

I'm humbled by your praise Aaron. I'm glad to be back, event though I'm still a long ways off from coming on the site as much as I use to(my senior year of high school is taking up most of my time right now because of college application). Thanks for reviewing this. Hopefully I will have something else written soon :)

[Jerusalem Cricket]

The title totally caught my attention.. fun fact, I played Abigail in high school >___o

[DoormanDan]

I bet she was a fun character to play. Thanks for reviewing :)

[ms. barrie]

this is a fascinating write...i for one enjoyed...your words remind of one helplessly singing of her confessions, as if she was really possessed (or something like that.) either way,
brilliant imagery...amazing flow.
thank you for sharing -- miss. barrie

[DoormanDan]

That was the intention with this piece. It is meant to be a inner monologue, though not necessarily from Abigail herself, but from people who are like her when they realize they have gotten themselves into a deep mess. Thanks for reviewing :)

[Perkele.7885]

Two things I need to know? How will you emerge? And are you really my friend Dan? Nice to see you fella? So school is good for you then! I have misses your crazy writings, the ones that made some kind of sense and even the ones that did not. Welcome back on any level.

[DoormanDan]

Hey Raj, long time no see. The "trial" is a reference to the Salem Witch Trials(this whole song was inspired by that). The trial is not necessarily literal in this piece, but is rather symbolism for the struggle inside ones self, in which one's true character is revealed by actions. With the second question, I don't really know what you mean by "are you actually my friend?" I'd say I'm probably more like an internet associate, if friend isn't the adequate word to use. Anyway, thanks for reviewing this, and thanks for the welcome back! :)

[Perkele.7885]

I was not asking if you were my friend , Dan.
I was asking if this was really my friend, Dan after all this time? Get me now?

[DoormanDan]

Ah, now I understand. Yep, it's me :)

[Amber Lily]

There are so many theories about what happened at those crazy trials but in all of them Abigail Williams was always at the center. In high school I had to watch a movie about it (the name escapes me) but it was decent and went with the route that it was all faked by Abigail.
This piece follows all of the confusion that happened in Salem and provides one with the sense of wonder. I find myself thinking again 'What really happened?' Great work Dan, glad to have you back :)

P.S. Glad to hear how dedicated you are to your senior your and that your figuring life out. That's something a lot of people never do. Good luck :)

[DoormanDan]

I think the movie you're talking about is called the Crucible. I had to read the play and watch the movie last year. Thanks for reviewing this Amber, and thanks for the welcome back :)

[Emily]

I love it!
Glad your creativity bars is high!
Can't wait to read more!

[DoormanDan]

I'm really glad you like this Emily! Thanks for reviewing :)

[Valentine]

Guess we all get trapped in a self woven web. Nice to see you back on the site. Valentine

[DoormanDan]

Thanks, I'm glad to be back on the site(heck, I'm just glad to be writing again!). Thanks for reviewing :)

[justdandy]

I really, really liked it

[DoormanDan]

I'm glad you like this, thanks for reviewing :)

[Lizardo]

Dude, It's great to see you back :) It really is.
I kind of returned with a lot creativity to write more (if you want to look)
As always, this are some great lyrics with deep meaning behind it, I like this.
Keep writing Dan!

[DoormanDan]

Thanks Lizardo, it's good to see you back as well! I think we all just need a break every now and then for most things, otherwise the things we love have a good chance of becoming chores for us to do. I'll check out your new stuff when I get the chance, but I don't usually have much time to review writing lately(especially stories). Thanks for reviewing :)

[Simon Welsh]

We're all a little insane, really.

[DoormanDan]

Yes we all are. There is no such thing as normal, there is only the shallow and deep end of weird. Thanks for reviewing :)
