The Nightmare

I hear the roar of chariots rumbling throughout the night awakened from a sleep so deep what I see gives me such fright The weapons aimed at mankind with symbols formed of colored lights no human stands within their scope their aim is dead to rights My companions heart struck terror has fallen there deceased her husbands bones are crushed but not from life released The warriors outside assault the door I have turned aside and fled left the one thats broken lying unconscious upon his bed The signs are moving upon the air they follow everywhere I run their every touch upon a man is a withered soul now done From it's poison I keep running I know to not look back every living thing I've left behind has died because of lack Those who sought to help me even these very ones have died helped me make my escape suffered death where they reside I ran up a darkened mountain fled into the nighted trees there they gave me shelter and from this terror frees Thought I have about it's meaning what insight lies within it's scope humanity without protection dying without any kind of hope Here I found no answer to evade or escape this dream abruptly the spectre ended nor found did I it's mean COPYRIGHT © 2011 C.
