The Devil's Dream

A silent dream within my head; Thousands of people lying dead. Murder and mayhem everywhere; No place to hide, not here nor there. A child born with sightless eyes; Only to hear the silent cries, Of burning bodies and tortured minds; With silent eyes forever blind. As fire lights the darkened skies; I see the shadows running by, And hear the sounds of silent screams; But can't awake these tortured dreams. Wake me up, don't let me die; As I scream out a silent cry. Silent minds, silent cries, Silent death, silent eyes, Tortured souls, tortured screams, You can't escape the Devil's dream.
