Dancing In Your Graveyard............. (Choose Your Own Adventure)
#1
Stranded in a remote countryside
In the distance you see a village
Seeking any help they can provide
You walk the extra mileage
Empty streets echoed terrified screams
As you knock on a door unanswered
The storm raining nightmaric dreams
Calmness and uneasiness now transferred
(Attempt to go inside ---> #2
follow the voices down the street ---> #3)
#2
You slowly push open the squeaking door
And see an empty cobwebbed abyss
As you walk upon the creaking floor
Now exploring this haunting premise
As you've walked halfway across the room
You hear the sound of a thunderous rumble
The chaotic sound of your impending doom
Into the ground the floor starts to crumble
(Attempt to go back outside --->#3
Run up steps to escape collapsing floor --->#4)
#3
The streets are paved with fear and dread
As screams fill the chilled midnight air
Following footsteps of the previously dead
You approach a ritual of the unaware
Enticing smokiness invites the cemetery
As spectres rise from their tombstones
A dancing ritual from the imaginary
Of skeletons dancing with their bones
(Cross a nearby bridge to escape --->#7
Dance with the skeletons --->#8)
#4
The steps lead into a musty bedroom
And for now the floor stopped collapsing
Positioned next to the window of gloom
A lonely chair waiting, meant for relaxing
Tired and exhausted, now trapped inside
You stop to try and catch your breath
But spirits reside that have previously died
And you sense them coming for your death
(Sit in the chair to relax a moment --->#5
Exit the window to escape --->#6
#5
As you sit in the chair for a quick relax
Shackles appear out of the midst of nowhere
Trapped in this permanent prison of relapse
Out the window you're forced to stare
In the distance a vision meant to enhance
Reflections of your memories scarred
Sacred rituals and a burning fire dance
Of skeletons dancing in your graveyard
#6
Now attempting to climb to the ground
You break the glass, the window shatters
As you slip you start free falling down
Onto the ground your dead body splatters
You hear the sounds in the distance
And see skeletons standing as guards
You succomb to your spiritual existence
And start dancing in your graveyard
#7
You cross the bridge to escape the town
And the chaos and madness that ensued
Still stranded you slowly turn around
And realize what you have viewed
Through a window a prisoner stuck
By the shackles he himself created
A dead body laying, down on his luck
A victim of the problems he evaded
Another man dancing amongst the fire
Dealing with the heat from his mistakes
And there you are, still uninspired
Living in a lost dimension of twisted fate
#8
Joining in the ritual you start to dance
And come face to face with a face well known
Familiarity from this hypnotic glance
A lifetime of your lifes regrets now shown
Pain exposed strolling down memory lane
You beg for eternal forgiveness
The mistakes in life are yours to blame
Or owning them to cure your sickness
You were the reason you were stranded
Isolated in this world and left all alone
But by facing the sins you abandoned
New hope breathed into your futures unknown
Stranded in a remote countryside
In the distance you see a village
Seeking any help they can provide
You walk the extra mileage
Empty streets echoed terrified screams
As you knock on a door unanswered
The storm raining nightmaric dreams
Calmness and uneasiness now transferred
