The Iron Republic Part 4: Asleep Forever

As she entered the room Mr Barrington was deprived of thought And words it seemed Were lost to his befuddled mind As they were introduced Her touch and smile had him reduced To a child again Seeing the world for the very first time In silence they sat alone Bewitched by her charms He shuffled his feet And wondered how his life had turned around It all felt like a dream This place and its secrets And there she was, his life was transformed He craved to remain within this delirium Don't pinch me Though nothing is as it seems Don't wake me from this dream I want to stay right here forever No don't pinch me Though we are worlds apart You're reached through and grabbed my heart I can't see past this moment I wish to stay asleep forever If it be then that the seeming Has more of beauty than the real If only it be in dreaming I may find the Land o'Leal May I not continue dreaming Weren't not cruel to wake again Is not bliss even in the seeming Preferable to real pain Don't pinch me Though nothing is as it seems Don't wake me from this dream I want to stay right here forever No don't pinch me Though we are worlds apart You're reached through and grabbed my heart I can't see past this moment I wish to stay asleep forever
