Waking Time -

Awaken sleeper

Raise your head

Prisoner of prisoners

Slave to a bed

Taken, Swallowed

No one to see

Vanish

In an instant

Never to be

Frozen stiff

But not cold

Dungeon reeks

Of rust and mold

Thoughts of confession

Take shape

Final impenitence

I’ll take

Awaken sleeper

Raise your head

Prisoner of prisoners

Slave to a bed

Taken, Swallowed

No one to see

Vanish

In an instant

Never to be

Wrought with fear

Make an escape

Drugged and delirious

Captors give chase

Stumble over rock and stone

Stumble and fall

-Caught up in a gin trap (repeated)
