Dead but Dreaming              by DarkAngel666

Standing on the edge of life and death

Trapped in a nightmare unable to awake

One step left to darkened oblivion

One step right to life without meaning

The shadows of guilt creep softly closer

Extinguishing all hope suffocating the light

Amongst the ashes of charred memories

The glowing embers of sin ignites in flames

Burning away the remnants of humanity

Tortured for eternity, dead but dreaming

Caught in the rhythm of times lonely song

Swaying to the tune of a hearts lost beat

When darkness falls a cry goes up

To disappear into the bitter wind

A plea for mercy a call to the gods

Who no longer hear a demons call

Ruled by guilt

Consumed by Chaos

Reaching for an angel

That faded with the night

Standing on the edge of life and death

Longing to awaken from the hell within

Amidst the bones of sinners past

A man lays broken, dead but dreaming
