Dreams of Life

To live in darkness, to be in the darkness...

To be the darkness...

To live without light, life, and harm...

To be forever happy and safe...

Warm, snug in your deepest most dreams...

Never waking, never caring...

Lying, sleeping...

Forever watching, waiting...

Hoping you aren't dead...

Yet you sleep, content as can be...

Never wanting, forever...

A memory and they lay you down...

In a suit of black and white...

You never knew what joy could be...

What love was left in your life...

And now they stand...

All those who worried, all those who feared...

Crying now...

Their river of tears...
