Encumber

I toss and turn sweat and burn hellish nightmares rob my slumber Deep and dark blackens my heart for my soul less soul encumber The devil's laugh mocks my mind into the spider's web I struggle entwine Falling hard into the sound my armless body sure to drown I scream and scream without a sound for by guilty sins I am bound Wake in fright against the night I shake cold but burn bright staring into the haunting light of demon eyes of ghastly fright Every deed i did wrong full in my ears sirens song Into myself wrong damn the night eternal long Trapped in hole pitch black begging for mercy that's lack Slimy things crawl through me I only feel but never see Sleep shallow and conscious render grounded into the devil's blender Stale my body frail my being encumbered by wicked dreams Encumber
