Nightvisions
I DREAM OF LIGHTING DANCING IN A RED SKY.
BLACK CLOUDS
ACID RAIN
THE EARTH SWEEPS BEFORE ME
HORIZONS OF SILENT DESOLATIONS
A CHASM OF GREAT VOLUME BREAKS
BEFORE MY VISION LIKE A WAVE
OF DRY SAND DIVIDING
GREAT LANDS ONCE RULED
AEONS AGO BY ANCIENT EMPIRES
ONE OF "GOD WE TRUST" AND MINI MARTS
ONE OF THE GREAT MOTHERS RED STAR.
THEY RUSHED IN A RAGE
TO THE FIERY END IN THEIR LAST PAGES
AN AGE BURNED THE EARTH
IN THERMO FROST
ICY FIRE
A DAY THE WORMWOOD FELL
NOW A MILLENNIUM FOLD
DEATH
REELED IN GLEE FOR IT IS LORD
OF THIS LIVIN’ HELL
AS I HEARD IN STORIES TOLD
THE LAST LINE OF EVE
THE LOST LEGIONS OF ADAM
HUMANITY
COWER ON A BRIDGE OF STONE AND GLASS,
RUST BLEEDS INTO DYING GRAND RIVER
DRIED REMAINS OF GREAT OCEANS,
BRIDGING LANDS OF ANCIENT WORLDS,
ONCE IN TIME
HOPE
TRIED
TO QUITE HATE AND RAGE IN A DISTANCE AGE
A HANGING FORTRESS OF HOVELS
WAS FORGED A MILLENNIA TOLD
WHERE SOULS SCRAPE OUT A MEAGER LIFE
A RAMBLING MONA5TERIES
OF OLD CARS AND NEON BARS
WHERE CAGES OF IRON HIDE WOODEN CROSSES
FAITH IN THE AFTERLIFE
I STAND BEFORE THE BEHEMOTH AND FEAR ITS
MIGHTY SPANS THAT CRISSCROSSES FORGOTTEN
LANDS (I WISH IT FROM MY SIGHT)
IN DREAMS I SEE ITS MIGHTY
SPIRES DESTROYING MY
ENVISIONED LAST DESIRES
MY IMAGES BRAKE AND
FALL ONTO NIGHTMARES OF
A ONCE GREEN WORLD NOW
VISIONS RETURN
BRIDGING THE LANDSCAPE OF
MY MIND-EXPANDING A RUINED EARTH
UNDER CRIMSON SKY
DISEASED BLACKENED THUNDERHEADS FLY
ROVING TUNDRAS OF GLASS BLOWN BROKEN SAND
I WIPE ACID RAIN FROM MY NECK
I TURN AND LEAVE THIS TOWERING WRECK
OF
VERMILION CHROME BLEEDING
INTO INFERNAL LANDSCAPES & NIGHTVISIONS
(Based on a real nightmare)
