Falling
Through space dark and cold
It was a dream, I was falling
Falling helplessly uncontrolled
In the night breathlessly calling
Like a child alone and afraid
Just me there, this empty space
Nightmares cold cruel masquerade
Taunting me behind a devils face
Me too feeble, too weak to evade
Knowing well I was about to expire
In this crazy place of crazy dreams
Feeling the heat from a devils fire
And then passing to heaven it seems
Finally ending this voyage through hell
As I awoke there safe in my bed
Having not to have slept very well
With that nightmare in my head
