Fevered Dream
Fevered Dream
Flood of time through my veins
Until all is lost, nothing remains
Streams of words like creche
Like razor burns on my flesh
Stories that must be told
As to me they did unfold
Down the great gloom forecast over me
Through the spinning cycles of centric commonality
Brides of unknown origins walk the aisles
Digging deeper through mystic wiles
Fanning the flames of a long ago fire
Widening portals of everlasting desire
Longing for the happy days of yore
When distant nightmares are no more
Drafty cauldrons bubbling in the breeze
Hanging spider webs from barren trees
Spill the virgins on the westward moor
As the bloody rain begins its downward pour
Life in doubt is better off naught
Hounds in a low cast shadow trap caught
Memories gone forever in a stupor to save
Buried deep in a shallow crowded grave
Fire in the woods crisscross
Ashes of memories lost
Dance fiery ballerina for me
Flames jumping tree to tree
Smokey past up in flume
Remains of a forest doom
Lashed by a wicked tongue
A song by a cruel whip sung
Pain overspills from a deep cup
Poison I drink sip by sip I sip it up
Brought low to the valley shore
Set adrift on a raft alone forever more
No reason to go home again
All I once had is now all gone in the end
Flood of time through my veins
Until all is lost, nothing remains
Streams of words like creche
Like razor burns on my flesh
Stories that must be told
As to me they did unfold
Down the great gloom forecast over me
Through the spinning cycles of centric commonality
Brides of unknown origins walk the aisles
Digging deeper through mystic wiles
Fanning the flames of a long ago fire
Widening portals of everlasting desire
Longing for the happy days of yore
When distant nightmares are no more
Drafty cauldrons bubbling in the breeze
Hanging spider webs from barren trees
Spill the virgins on the westward moor
As the bloody rain begins its downward pour
Life in doubt is better off naught
Hounds in a low cast shadow trap caught
Memories gone forever in a stupor to save
Buried deep in a shallow crowded grave
Fire in the woods crisscross
Ashes of memories lost
Dance fiery ballerina for me
Flames jumping tree to tree
Smokey past up in flume
Remains of a forest doom
Lashed by a wicked tongue
A song by a cruel whip sung
Pain overspills from a deep cup
Poison I drink sip by sip I sip it up
Brought low to the valley shore
Set adrift on a raft alone forever more
No reason to go home again
All I once had is now all gone in the end
