I awoke in the mouth of a stone

It's breath was ash it's voice unknown

The walls wept in crimson thread

And every showdown knew what I said

A staircase through bone and glass

Each step a dream I could not grasp

The sky stitched with mourning cries

and rained down stars from hollowed eyes

Sanctum of nightmares, where dreams unfold

Sanctum of nightmares, where you pay a toll

Where sleep dissolves, and dreams decay

I was born in a breathless scream

Fed to the walls of a temple that dreams

The floor was paved with thoughts

The ceiling's side with gods' forgots

A mirror with teeth reveled my face

A face I never dared to embrace

Stitched in thread of funeral grace

It whispered truths I could not chase

Sanctum of nightmares, where dreams unfold

Sanctum of nightmares, where darkness devours the soul

The alter cracks beneathmy tread

A vow unspoken, left for dead

Sanctum of nightmares, where dreams unfold

Sanctum of nightmares, where darkness devours the soul

Vailed in gloom
