The Nightmare

It begins when you fall asleep,
At first it’s all dark.
In the back a woman begins to weep.
Behind you, you hear a dog’s bark.

Second, the woman stands.
As she faces you, you notice she doesn’t have a face.
You see she’s got claws in place of hands.
Around her waist is a barbed brace.

You try to run, but you your legs don’t work.
You try to scream, but there is no sound.
You look at her, and her body makes a sharp jerk.
She begins to lurk toward you as you struggle to become unbound.

She walks all stiff, like a mummy awakened from sleep
You realize your time might be up soon.
She slows herself down to a creep.
You begin to feel very swoon.

When you realize you might just die,
The floor beneath you collapses.
When you realize your safe, you begin to cry.
When you see that there might be a lapse.

But you were wrong!!
You look around and see figures slumbering towards you.
You look around and see around you is a throng.
They look like animals escaped from a zoo.

You see that you are no longer bound, and begin to run.
When you see that you probably won’t make it far.
You pray that this nightmare is almost done.
When suddenly you see something bizarre.

Suddenly, your legs stop working.
You trip, and roll to the edge of a cliff.
You don’t hear them start lurking.
Your entire body becomes stiff.

You hear their feet drag across the floor.
You see their red eyes become visible.
All at once, you hear them roar.
Suddenly they become invisible.

You feel your legs being lifted.
You scream in fear,
You feel your body being shifted.
You vision begins to disappear.

When your vision comes back.
You’re tied to an operating table.
They strangely don’t attack.
You try to move, but you are unable.

Around you, you see tools of bane.
You see them lick their lips, as if ready to eat.
They examine your arm, as if looking for a rich vein.
In the air, you smell rotted meat.

You see the Leader one, clean off a knife.
You see him press it against your skin.
You wonder if you’ll ever see real life.
You see they are sacrificing you to Gwyn.

You scream in pain as they draw blood.
You realize that they will eat you ALIVE.
You scream in pain as they cut off your leg with a spud.
All you can do is strive.

You suddenly faint, as they begin to eat.
You wake up with both legs, in a darkened room.
You suddenly notice the heat.
When you look around, you notice you’re in a tomb.

You hear whispering around you.
You see movement but see no one.
You wait but nothing comes into view.
Suddenly you see a claw, and begin to run.

You realize that you cannot.
You’d think your luck would Improve!
You notice in the ground, a slot.
You realize you have a small window to move.

You hope it’s a good choice,
You flip into the slot and fall into Hell.
As you fall you hear a voice.
As you fall, you hear the Fallen begin to yell.

Suddenly you stop,
You slow down and land.
You look to see you’re at the top.
You struggle to stand.

You look around and notice a prison.
You see within, you notice Him
The Fallen and The Risen.
Around you the lights begin to dim.

You see him rise.
You seem him look up at you and smile.
You immediately see evil in his eyes.
His entire aura was vile.

It spooks you when he speaks,
In fact you almost fell into the Depths of Hell!
You try to stay sane as you hear their shrieks.
You look down and hope your life ends well.

He tells you, that it’s all been a test.
He tells you that you have successfully passed.
You realize that you will never again rest.
He looked around, and the demons amassed.

He smiled and spoke again.
He tells you that you are the final key.
He said that this might seem inane.
But in the end you would see.

He tells you that the world would end soon.
And that you’d be the leading demon.
He says He’s waited for you for a Blue Moon.
But not yet a master daemon.
