We can break the mountains
We can crush the sky
We can stop the fountains
Turn them arid, dry
We can burn the rivers
Leave the trouts to die
Send many a tingling shivers
If we only dare to try
No limit to our powers
As we axe the trees
Watch the withering flowers
Join the birds and bees
While we are a-hunting
Let’s slay all humans too
Without being affronting —
What worthy can they do?
Nevermore we shall worry
All will be a curse
Little time left; let’s hurry
Halloween’s upon us
When the stars are sleeping
Not a watch one is keeping
Will you call me in my dreams?
Give the world all its feeling
Lose the truth I’m appealing
I am lost or so it seems
An open mind but hollow
An open sky left to swallow
Now we know where to leave our mark
Build a wall full of sorrow
Not today not tomorrow
We are just prisoners of the dark
Like a wild bird flying
In a cage I am trying
To get my head above this stream
I can’t breathe I am lying
I can’t swim I am crying
Will you call me in your dream?
When the last hopes were taken
All the moons too were shaken
We saw Thunder and her spark
Now we wait; cold and broken
Only silence’s ever spoken
We are still the prisoners of the dark
Let me clarify to you right from the start
Do not read this if you’re weak of heart
If your dear ones fear that you’ll tear apart
Let this be a warning if you’re unprepared
Do not read this if you are easily scared
Not even if you’ve lost a bet or been dared
Do not read this in the dark of the night
First you ensure that there’s plenty of light
Lest you may end up with a terrible fright
Do not read this to your daughter or son
Do not think this is going to be fun
In fact do not read this out to anyone
Do not read this. Do something else instead
Unless you want to mess with your head
Heed my words and you will be forever glad
Do not read this
Well, you made it till the end despite my warnings. In that case let me try another piece of reverse psychology on you. Do not press the Donate button below 😁
I’m missing you terribly, Darling
I hope you miss me too
Everyone is only talking about us
Just like you’ve always wanted to
Without you life is incomplete
I wish I were buried too
Nevertheless our deepest secrets
Remain between me and you
They’ve tortured me endlessly
But I won’t betray you
I promise they will never find out
Why or when or where or who

Why did you let me die?
Answer me, my love
A small intervention from you
I could have been saved
Do not be scared, my love
I’m not here to harm you
I need an answer before
I pass on through the door
I don’t mean to intrude
Upon your serene dreams
Or turn them into a nightmare
I’m looking for salvation
As you seek mental peace
Did it not hurt you
To see my light extinguish?
Did it not affect you
As I fell into an eternal slumber?
You could have touched my hand
Held me close to you
Your warmth had always saved me
It would have been enough
I am not asking for much
I wouldn’t have bothered you
If it didn’t burn me inside
Give me an answer and tell me
Why did you let me die

Tell me how to lose my self
Lose my senses and my thoughts
Transport myself to a dreamy world
Albeit temporarily but still
Tell me how to sleep
Show me the pleasure that you gain
From a reprieve of the mind
From the worries and the stress
In the companionship of Death’s son
Show me how to sleep
Teach me what I do not know
I fail to silence my inner voice
How do I tire my body and my soul?
What’s your somniferous song?
Teach me how to sleep
Tell me how fresh the morning feels
Show me the peace in solitude
Teach me a trick, an easy shortcut
Tell this ghost of liberation
Tell me how to sleep
Look outside your window
There’re spiders all around
Falling from the skies
All over the ground
Mommy Mommy wake up
Hide me please somewhere
What if they come inside
Crawl over my hair?
Mommy says — Hide! Quick!
Under the bed we go
She says that they’re not spiders
They’re …
An evil mind is full of thoughts
That tie his brain in sinful knots
And he sees the world as he himself is
Murky, vile and fiendish
The night is cold and chilling
A monster lurks around
It wants to make a killing
Of anybody who’s found
Bolt your doors tightly
Don’t make a sound
Till the sun comes out brightly
Rays hit the ground
Hold on till then for life
From the unknown hound
Gather your kids and wife
Don’t make a sound
A snake! A snake! A snake!
A snake creeping inside of me
It could not be anything else
What else could it be?
I bit my father yesterday
Wounded my brother too
A snake! A snake! A snake!
That’s what it makes me do
They tied me up with ropes
They refuse to give me food
Oh the snake is hungry
Will it eat me up for good?
I’m hungry I am thirsty
But my family doesn’t care
A snake! A snake! A snake!
Listens to no prayer
Come a little closer brother
Mother please listen to me
Just a little sniff of blood
And I’ll sleep well you see
A snake! A snake! A snake!
It eats me from inside
A snake! A snake! A snake!
A demon by my side
