The downward arc of the sun fills me with fear As the heavens change their hue, I dread the sight of dusk Lengthened shadows rise from their graves to haunt the blackened hours And I tremble as my fear is confirmed The death of light and the birth of hell Piercing my soul Haunting my dreams Visions swirl around me, crashing over me I'm immersed in disembodied voices Dissonant screams echo through time Ghosts of thought drift through unconsciousness Half-forgotten memories linger on the periphery A delirium of fractured images Piercing my soul Haunting my dreams Slick with sweat, the bed sheets cling to my body like a shroud A sodden and tangled web of restraint I yearn for the sweet oblivion of silent darkness To gather me up and embrace me in its velvet folds of bliss Burning up in a sphere of madness Edging ever closer to insanity Finally the black sky pales Sunrise a vampyric onslaught Bleeding her substance dry Vanquishing her domain Reanimation of the catatonic Morning spawns a day like any other Will terror reign again in twilight's Autumn Only time will tell
