40 Thieves of Dreams Within Dreams Part 2

Now we have kings of hell A metaphysical chess of wishes All revolving around me Trapped inside this cave This mountain It’s still really before Christ the prophet hasn’t been born but if we can find the exit we can change the real world come back to this cave and rediscover destiny A dream within a dream and the dreams of fourty thieves Three wishes And a genie passed around An exit we can’t find A world inside a mountain cave with a sun and its own stars What will we do? What will we say? When the door opens? The travelers come in and the lamp with a will of its own escapes our grasp and we are stuck here forever Fighting amongst ourselves with our own selfishness vanity and greed? When all of your wishes have been granted Many of your dreams will be destroyed Just another truthful romance of a famous Satanist Born into something wished upon mankind 40 thieves created in drunken stupors intellectual combat and jealousy When will the door open and the exit be shown to us? Will we take the population of the future world into the past with us? Or leave them behind in this mountain? Will you build me the king of the fourty thieves into a god? and lock me here forever in this mountain forever With your genie Have you figured out the perfect wish? Are we sober yet? Have we woken to find sobriety? Take me out of the harpie pool Lead me to the wishing well Give me my coins of the days of old and remind me once again that we are merely traveling forward in time Can you hear me? Can you see me? Do you know what I know? Can you see what I see? Will u lead me to the exit? To change our world Or are you still wishing for all the glory? In a dream with in a dream 40 dreamers wishing their dreams into reality stuck inside a mountain this earth is what we are A cavern with its own sun and solar system and space ships and an exit into the past where we the fourty thieves have just become prophets and visionaries Momentary gods of futuristic possibilities to be creatively shunned and thrown away Will you lead me to the exit? Wish me to save you from your vanity denials and greed Have you forgotten everything? Do you know what I know? Do you see what I see? Am I here alone? Did you leave already? Is the door closed? Is the magic word still Open sesame?
