In Trance

It feels so deep
Enchanted sleep
A haunting spirit
Eyes to weep

With crumbling hand
Stretched forth to feel
Yet nothing felt
Five hearts of steel

Creep closer, closer
Closing in
Un-staggered breath
As night begins

The mystic song
Shall have its way
Hypnotic rhythm
Come what may

No presence here
No ties abound
No turning back
No solid ground

Just voices, voices
From the deep
Just voices now…
Forever sleep
