into the nightmare
into the nightmare
on the plains the rain came in roads of mud
thunder crashed harsh hot lightning flashed
wading in steps as a crane covered in blood
a scent of the marsh rose as gunfire crashed
at the jungle’s edge dense dankness beckons
weary eyes flicker wary a time of hesitation
to dive off the ledge as a dead angel reckons
a burden heavy to carry with no inspiration
in the deep wet forest all there is concealed
fear tastes strongly sour caked on the tongue
a cacophony chorused all emotion revealed
a sudden snap as i cower a last song is sung
to flee in rising panic aware of every danger
alive in a world so manic facing the stranger
