Nightmare Weaver

Where do we go when we sleep?
Blind, across eternity
The heroes and villains, the light and the darkness
We all have to drift into dream
Desperate to feel in control
Perfection and order in our souls
But when consciousness drifts, when our eyelids do slip
What chaos we buried unfolds
Nightmare weaver twist my dreams and show me all my fears
Nightmare weaver whisper words that only I can hear
Who else have you twisted in darkness?
What perfection and order you break?
Muse, or teacher? Mind deceiver -
Nightmare weaver, won’t you let me wake?
The siren is singing so sweet
In my mind’s eye odyssey
It’s pulling me under, if not for this slumber
The mast of my mind tying me
But what of an evil unbound?
Where constraints of the sane can’t tie down
What dreams do the darkest and dangerous have
What dreams could bury their crown?
