A Nightmare Slain

The Sun now sets upon a vast necropolis
Those who remain are monsters all
Born by the blood, undone by the blood
Our eyes are yet to open
Find the source
To put an end to the nightmare
That has begun

This dream will last
Until you can ascend
Past the veil
Instilled by ancient ones
Grant us eyes as you once did
For the vacous Rom
Ring the bell
And summon all that will
Joyously suffer hell

A splendid night
For hunting beasts
The blood echoes through their veins
Monsters once men, now granted peace
The moonlight reflects arterial haze
Unholy church built on misguided beliefs
That which healed, now brings disease

An endless war
Rages viciously
The ancient ones
Not gods
But the enlightened of man

Enter the nightmare
Confront what you seek
A hunter hunts
Even in a dream
Your frenzied mind distorted
And growing weak
Unraveled by the truths that go unseen

Inward eyes line our minds
No longer blind
Alert us to the beings in our skies
Submit your life
Awaken to sunrise or be reborn
And become a God

Blasphemous butchers
Blood-crazed fiends
Atonement granted
If only in their dreams
