Deep Within My Nightmare

Deep within my nightmare Amidst the shards of broken glass Creatures dwell that were spawned in hell And heroes dare not pass. A black wind starts to bellow As dark clouds fill the sky And blood red rain starts falling From the corner of my eye. Lightning strikes the Devil’s tower As I find myself alone Within the haunted hallways, Fire trapped within the stones. I scream within the silence And watch as hope just melts away And I pray that I will soon awake To see another day. My heart beats so intensely I fear it bursting through my chest And my breathing becomes ragged As the terror within me crests. When my eyes finally snap open I thank heaven when I see That there within the real world You’re still lying next to me.
