Black Fire Rising

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
