No peaceful dreams
Truth be found behind these closed eyes
Enter these eyes and you will see
Wounds of the past and endless agony
Visions of the dead
Deny happiness
Deny lighthearted illusions of the mind
Visions of world ablaze
Sounds of shreiking terror
Feelings of betrayal and rivers of blood
This is the world of Torment
He suffers the night
Yet dreads the day
Tormented by memory
Terrified of living yet another day
Solitary tear escapes tightly closed eyes
Please don't let this happen to me
Please stop the Anguish
Illusions of the night create an ache in the heart
He wanted the world
He recieved Hell
Miserable and dreaming
Living in a dead diseased land of the night
Frightened at what would be next
All he knows to do
Is Close his eyes and call for relief
Save him from the misery
