Dream



WHAT IS THIS THAT POINTS AND STARES;
INTO EVERY WHICH DIRECTION IT POINTS IT SCARES.
THIS BIG BLACK SHAPE WITH EYES OF FIRE;
THIS ONE LAST CHANCE HERE COMES THE FIRE.
THIS FIGURE IN BLACK COMES FACE TO FACE;
AND TAKES MY SOUL WITHOUT A TRACE.
INTO HELL MY BODY FALLS;
THERE GOES THE FIGURE THROUGH THE WALLS.
THE SOUNDS OF PAIN AND AGONY FROM THE
PEOPLE;
TELL ME IM IN THE HOME OF A GREAT EVIL.
TO GET FROM THE FLAMES I CLIMB UP THE WALL;
WITH HOPES THAT I DONT SLIP AND FALL.
SATAN GRABS ME AND I SCREAM;
I WAKE UP TO FIND IT WAS ALL A DREAM.
