Chapter 42

SV41

"25. Lemme At 'Em--Rick Cua"

Her mind went again to the memory with the little demon. If the cry that she had felt bubbling up within Lazarus at that moment could be summarized in four words, those words would have been, "Let me at 'em." Sure enough, the tone of the music matched when she hit play...

Secret shadows / In the corners of my life / I keep them covered / By the darkness of the night / I hide my heart / When Your light comes near / I hear You say, "This time / We'll make the shadows disappear"

Lemme at 'em / I'll keep the demons from your soul / Lemme at 'em / I'll fight the criminal who stole your heart

I've had heroes / I thought would save my life / But they took what the could / And rode off in the night / But You're my shining star / Your light is real / You say, "I'll chase those ghostly faces / You've been tryin' to conceal

...

Nothing can touch you / When He is here / Don't quit, don't turn away / A life so far has come so near

Your words of life now are / All I can hear / He said, "Take me to what's hurting you / And watch the shadows disappear"...

Interesting... She had known precisely what to expect coming in, but something within her seemed to quail with fright upon hearing it. Was that her own spiritual hitchhiker, realizing its lease was running out?
