Black Fire Rising - Tad Morose

I lie awake

Afraid of what will happen if I fall asleep!

Once again to die

To see myself leave my body

To twist and turn in agony and pain — I’m afraid

«Come now — come join»

Abysmal plains so far below

Black fire rising

From the mist egress

The gates of hell

Is this for real?

Are dreams a gateway to the dead, the afterlife

To the other side

The realms of hell or light of heaven

I dare not fall asleep, don’t want to meet my end!

Abysmal plains so far below

Black fire rising

From the mist egress

The gates of hell
