Nightmares

In the solemn peace of the night

Was heard a painful scream of fright

And fast through the air it flew

To sleepless ears alerted anew

Then visions so dreadful started to peer

Of tortured souls, so scarlet and clear

Trapped in the dark of a dreary room

Slain and burdened by inner doom

A burning hell inside the mind of a child

Nightfall phobia, a craving for a sleep exiled

Nocturnal torment of a thousand lies

Eternal nightmares of unheard cries.
