No Dreams

Tender slaughter
Something pathetic that was dead
So deep inside
Like a pale kiss of frozen night

Time and tide
Tell me how to hide
From the demons inside

Sweet pain, dear poison
Hopes and dreams are all gone
Fever in heart, dead light in eyes
Welcome to my rotten paradise

Kiss the dead hope
Missing once precious world
Give me something to live for
Or let me fall
I won’t go further anymore

Heartbreaking, soultearing
I smile and break another nightmare
While another dream is slowly withering
I wish I could still care

Memories die
Dreams fade away
Every hope is but a lie
Last glimpse of day

Weak, torn and blind
There left nothing more
No way to find
But into the void to fall

Let me be real before I fall
Let me dream one last time
There is no wish I can recall
But one desire inside
One drop of love I haven’t got
