Into The Dream

Night makes the sun a memory
Blessed we sift the days debris
And though the rage has left these eyes
This is a disguise

Dream signs the day upon the square
Beautiful music, lover's fair
Then out of nowhere comes a shout
Shots ring out

Waking in a cold sweat
The night's several hours yet
Outside all is quiet now but
Inside I fear the madman is nearing my creation
He lives in my dreams
Life denied as a child
He has grown sick and wild
And he wants me to care
Kill them all in their

Sleep just another of your dreams
Empty illusions silent screams
Nothing to fear here but the night
Don't turn out the light

If the answer lies within
Show me your mirror let's begin
Within the pool of shadow spies
Look into my eyes

And so I descend into the water
A foreign abyss
But knowing this is dreaming
I am rowing to the shore

From the waters edge to a field
Near the forest to the shade, I am drawn
There I hear an ancient voice
Pained and roving

I see no decision, no what to do
To pull out the arrow or push it through
With every incision a residue
When action yields nothing but scar tissue

Let me be violent or leave me in peace
Stacking between me, i need some release
Under the surface where waters freeze
I feel something boiling, breeding disease

Blowing in a vein, blood is on the rain
Doctor goose and mother seuss in hell
Filling every fairy tale and every grail
I am older than the sky, invincible am I
The unbuffered nasty, the singularity

You want to know who I am and you can't even see
Man myopic longing staring out to sea
And so it grabs your focus as if that were your mind
Shield your eyes from darkness better to be blind

Look at the time, it's time I leave
Answers are scarce find some scrap to believe
Why chase a rainbow, best to give in
Shake this deception, shed my skin

Adders with instinct, adders with custom
Adders with woman, adders within me
Adders with thought, adders with feeling
I raise my eyes, I take a stand
I shed my clothes, my youth
The deepest lies
How we may live or dragon dies at my command

And I can feel the madman
Let the phantoms enter me

And I become the madman in the pleasure
So familiar I can breathe

Welcome home, I never thought I'd see you here
Just a child from mother born another fear
Through at last, you shed the web, the play is free
Being a man, you've earned this shelter come to me

How does it feel, to hate what you are
Or love what you should hate
This is your fate

It's you that sets the pose of flame
Inside me the fire's burning your name
A jealous man, a monkey in a cage
This anger bursting at the seams
Needs venting in more than unconscious dreams
I must release the monster and his friends

Deep inside lives a need
To destroy you, to make love and to feed
The evil in the world I have known
Is due to fear alone

To the fire, there she lays
My desire, sleeps within the grip of fate
And if the world must fall, let it fall
Burn valhalla burn

And if the rapist must break free
From in the deepest part of me
Judgment chains our darkest side
Denial breeds a genocide

Fall from the mountain, dive in the sea
We look into the sky connect the dots
And tell me what you see
Pain and pleasure and the soul of all humanity

Time in the land of the gods
Stand still, by command of the gods
Align in the dream of the world
We dance to the theme of the word
For all we've been shown of the old
Denies, we have known of the old
And when we awake from the dream
We will know what to make of the dream

Till then go to sleep, let's fall again
Go to sleep, let's fall again

Man at gates, cordata
From the water's edge onto land
To the heavens, home at last
I am free
