Beasts of insanity

DaveG

The dark stallion of our nightmares

Stalks the mighty hills

Outlined by lightning which destroys our cares

Hide before the beasts of insanity kills

 

The mighty serpent with bone white teeth

Run from the coils which crush our flesh?

Watch the ground where they strike from beneath

Scream as the suck white our flesh

 

Hear their laughter while you can

Your mind is a toy for their games

Groan as they stretch you like a fan

And on your skin they tattoo their names

 

Accept your fate as they peel your skin

Pain heightened as they squeeze each nerve

Squeezed in a crusher until paper thin

Can you give the sword a body swerve?

 

Suddenly woken by a touch

The last torture was too much

The beasts of insanity you do not fear

The dark stallion of nightmares walks quite near
