nightmares, oh how they are tormenting me

these worlds of anguish and eternal despair

sadness ridden sands of time, devouring lush realities

deeper, deeper I must go

to extort sanity from the one keeping it from me

you, darkest of my dreams, I have come for you

torrents of desolate fates intertwined

a constellation of hopes forlorn

it has taken a lifetime to come this far

and to enter the realm I seek another life fades

behold! a lover reduced to dust, ashes of a god dead

fountains of souls gleaming black light

from here we all came

and into this nothingness we shall always drown again

dare I open the gate leading my mind through hell

reach into fires of hatred, ice pits of rejection

my heart torn apart from within

legions of etherial thorns

rapidly expanding the dimensions of time and space

aether inhaled deformities capture attention

undeath of aeons crushing sacred visions

my subconscious armies march against a devastating foe

there amidst the battle eating dreams and men alike

a faint touch of hope brings me solace

prismatic fortress of absolutes, the alpha and the omega

conquered and occupied

the gateway from here to eternity

protectors fall until the seal is broken

and my dreams are cast back into chaos

and into the flames

let the war commence.
