NIGHTMARES

NIGHTMARES

There is a place where madness runs free
where fear rules and terrors roam
you’d close your eyes but cannot help see
that you’re worst thoughts have come,
you'll not get back home

The darkness has life, and fills you with dread
where evil holds sway, and mindless things play
you feel unsafe though still in your bed
you long for release, and for a new day

And when it is darkest and when it would seem
that you've lost and your trapped by evil's dark gleam
you wake up and see that it was merely a dream
