Twenty Six

Somehow, somewhere, the night is mine

I dance along a thin, white line

The spectre of life sings the song

I fight against the ghosts of wrong

The darkness screams, tears my mind

Led by disciples of the blind

I see you, you don't see me, see my wounds, watch me bleed

Watch the soul destroyed by mercy, helpless in its need

Watch in vain, feel my pain, see the nightmare feed my bane

Yet we all play on, despite the dawn, of the plans the gods ordain

Kneeling and screaming

Dreaming and feeling

Tossing and turning

Wheeling and dealing

The nightmare recedes, my heart starts to bleed

See my compulsion planting its seed

My own mind dreams of certain death

I feel my body struggle for breath

Death defies, then testifies

Spread my wings and start to fly

Lost in illusion, born in hate

I feel remorse but its too late

Darkness comes

Hear the beat of drums

Doomed forever

The cosmic suns
