dream sequence reality

they whirl, swirl, twirl so no one sees, a feverish dream
blur, absurd but real, evil not sealed
demons reaching over my shoulder
devils teaching disciples world over
they tap my shoulder slap my face
no gentle touch comes here to save
now and disavowed the nightmare comes

no whys, can't cry, they died, I tried
look to the side avert mine eyes from thine
despise and ostracize and criticize and blame
words are dead my smiles bled the gun is to my head
the demon's cursed flames burst and the devil's games win the day
flaunt the nightmare so so scared, on and on and on

I am the fool that swooned for a doubloon moon
I called their names they fell away and thus the world I slayed
I shoot, tear roots fill hands with soot
see reaper creeping, see eyes glazed and unbelieving
demons danced inside my soul and devil claimed me as his own
old ghosts I host macabre show

captured enraptured by icy prussian storms yes fully formed and I entrust my life of strife to you
you point the gun annoint the sanguine flood
you're the Zero's hero of the day and mine, in your own way sublime
now in your favor never do I waver
even as the demons and the devils
continue their endeavors
I watch and wait that I might in you stay
the dreams begin

stars sparkle so remarkable
wonder wonder in the sky before my lovedrunk eyes
the throng thinks me wrong but the skies see me right
dark threads attack white diamond night
the demons lurk the devils work nature's fanciful quirks
I lay out devout to you and hah those ghosts are trounced
O irony abounds

now comes the scene, so un-obscene as to achieve some within-peace
unsure now can't find the closure now too much exposure now my beloved, my soldier now
I grasp your hand and make my stand, we find our promised land in bloody sand
you are my god my only thought religion on your own but not alone
cold tenfold times quiet undenied but healing warm inside
you beat the lurking demon back and broke the devil's sneaking back
salvation do you send my friend, your warm near me unsweet but strong,
we can't be wrong, because with you the nightmares end

with you my nightmares end
