Nightmares of a Tortured Soul

In darkened shadows, Lies in wait, My blacked soul, Bound in chains, I lie in blood, Running from my veins, Upon the stone, That lies beneath, My broken body, Bruised and twisted, And then I wake, This is my future, This my fate, This is to come, It lies in wait, Sure as Death, This will come, It is said, It is done, These are my nightmares, That make me scream, These are the dreams, A tortured soul does dream,
