Welcome To My Nightmare

I hear my name being called in the night Stephan, Stephan, Stephan I wake in a sweat, knowing I belong here Dead bodies trample upon me As I begin to lose my mind I hear my name being called Stephan, Stephan The ravens are here To devour me whole The bloody feast of holy knights This insanity embraces me Taking me away in clouds Phantoms have pierced my eyes The tears are bloody droplets upon my weary bones As the stake is driven threw my heart I am the poison hiding in the dark A mask upon my face hides not my evil fate Angels in virgin white, playing harpsichord Looking down upon the beasts of burden Knowing they too shall prey upon my soul My mind has escaped this tormented earth I am broken, and living on borrowed time Love was the illusion of my youth As the voices said overhead Stephan Stephan Stephan You can run from your mind It will always capture your fear Welcome to my nightmare Forbidden dreams Notes: Based on some songs written by a classically trained musician

It's great to see 'Alice Coopers' song 'Steven' inspiring this piece. I used to sing this track to my son Steven when he was younger. Taken from 'Welcome to my Nightmare' great Album, cool poem Arthur, James..
