The Realm
Diving through the layers of the night
Yet stumbling as I don't feel quite right
There's a spirit dance just out of sight
In the midst of my nocturnal plight,
Ghosts emerge from my memories
Self-torment seems evident in varying degrees
Makes no difference who you try to please
As you abandon ship over rough seas,
Deep inside my mortal soul
Long standing regrets taking their toll
Seems I’m an actor playing the wrong role
Just as the truth is hidden by biased opinion polls,
Where are you love-you’re hiding from me
An eternal enigma you might as well be
Like a sniper well hidden in the branches of a tree
It seems you are immune by virtue of your own decree,
Like salvation just beyond my grasp
Might as well have been bitten by an asp
The haughty vocalization of a pirate’s rasp
Where the irons on my wrist have been clasped,
Where will this starlit ship take me on this forbidden night?
A cruise into the nocturnal waters before dawn’s light
Struggling with those demons with all my might
Wishing for blissful sleep I’d gladly invite,
The Lord of the darkest realm
With all his spirits at the helm
A place where guilt overwhelms
As I wander through witch elms,
The lunar entity casts a shimmering disguise
Hiding evil and insidious lies
Blanketing atrocities and muffling cries
These are the injustices that I despise,
No lovers hand in hand walking into the sunset
The typical Hollywood lies that we get
These are the odds against our ill-advised bets
A realm where there are no safety nets.
