Doctor Doctor

Spiders, come here
Who's there?
Someone's hereWelcome to my humble abode
Please don't mind the mess
Just nest yourself down comfortable
Let the doctor do the restDear ghost, you look white as a sheet
Just have yourself a seat
Open wide and say, ah
Let the doctor take a peekNow I must admit I knew you'd come
Boy, it is love
Elope to save her from disease
Wash your hands off her bloodI don't want to alarm you
But you certainly are ill
Stricken with a sickness
Deadly enough to killEven the strongest man
Would drop dead where he stands
I urge that we make haste
If you are to stand a chanceSpiders scalpel, forceps
Hope's breath
Just a pinch, spiders, now just a pinch
That was too muchNow what you got ain't no quick fix
It ain't no common cold
What you need's a bonafied
Doctor's miracleNow the thing about miracles
Is that they don't grow on trees
They don't fall from the sky
You need a doctor like me
It just ain't easyLucky for you, you found me
So the rest should be no fuss
But before we get to savin' lives
There's a few things to discussNow I'm sure you're wonderin'
What's in it for me?
Surely I would not perform
These miracles for freeI'm not askin' for a lot
It won't cost you a dime
I just want the princess here with me
Till the end of timeI promise to take care of her
More rather, she'll take care of me
For the rest of her life in the dark, fulfilling
Doctor's fantasiesI can't do this
But you must, princess
Sign my life awayIt's the only way, trust me
I know how this must go
Just do what the doctor saysHe mixed elixirs and filters
Pried scrolls and read excerpts
He spoke in foreign phonetics
And read runes from ancient relicsStirred ointments with potions
And unctions with doses
He whisked it until smoke rose
And seeped into her noseThe illness had relinquished
The doctor had fixed it
The cleansing accomplished
Their love was free to flourishBut before it could sink in
The front door was kicked in
Standing in it's place was Pallis
Driven by malice, he had barged in
To challenge Adakias, to prove their loveTheir word wouldn't be enough
Pallis needed it in blood
