Embraced by Fear

Sleep child, sleep now

Leave me now for your dreamscapes

Dream child, dream now

Beyond the haze your dream awaits

It is real now, the world you're in

A barren, cold and gruesome place

A veil of mist, a cold caress

Afraid to die you pray to wake

Soaring in a dream of illusion

Somehow you know – the end is near

Horrid visions all so elusive

So cold and alone – you're embraced by fear

You try to scream, but there's

No sound from your voice

In the sky the last star is falling

All fades to silence, no echoes resound

And no one can hear you call

You know it's a dream

Yet still you're afraid

Never to wake up again

"If I die before I wake

I pray the lord my soul to take"

Soaring in a dream of illusion

Somehow you know – the end is near

Horrid visions all so elusive

So cold and alone – you're embraced by fear
