Upon this night wrapped in sleep
cold mists covering valley and castle's keep
a thought a wish a burning dream
surrounding all of what reality seems;
A frightener's bargain struck in haste
details and fineprint left and laid waste
all for the promise of flesh as a mate
all for nought in the realm of this abyssmal state;
Forever in the past lying trapped and restrained
the consciousness of a people all but framed
A spirit subdued for this has been trained
the reality merely a perversion maimed;
Drowning collection sorrow in bodies of flesh
the worshop of blood and abandonment of all the rest
the eternal abundance of this one supreme quest
the collective will of a species eerily supressed;
A dawning view over the world arrives
a spark of light trying to warm tiny lives
a sliver of truth fighting ebony lies
surrounding the world a message of the wise
a hidden fantasy from those seeking escape
the eternal power struggle between chance and fate
a driven will forcing magic to abate
the deadly move spawning a destiny of hate;
Pure fire drying life from limb
elemental desire striving for it's chance to win
cold storm of a mind's view turned grim
a fateless lust bathed in sin;
A dream abandoned by mankind
a fate sealed with every scientific find
a hope crushed in the quest of the sublime
a species unmade by its own mind
