Shattered dreams

i play cards with death
a deadly deck of greed
corpse dance mesmerising
every scar reflecting
lucky victim of their hate
winds of compassion
recall your memory
the only past you have

cry, in pain, forever, cry
die, in vain, forever, die

scatter your emotions
it was thy fate
echoes of doom emerge in hate
you had to fall onto disdain
eternal slumber eats you again

shattered dreams inside
embracing the dead mind
devouring all your life

now it's the dust that fills your time
your heart no more will chime

a torment unleashed
when you are not awake
all dreams become nightmares
when your slumber ends
giving souls back
to the set of fear
they keep calling you
surrender your spirit
to us, eternally

cry, in pain, forever, cry
die, in vain, forever, die
