The Dance From Beyond

When I lay down on my sheets and close my eyesIn sweat I wait for her to come and to enter my mindStill one moment I always dive into sweet unconsciousness in the silence of the night...The very moment I fall asleep my soul is torn off into a dreamA shadow with a female shape takes my hand and leads meOver the forests and hills we fly among the clouds in nightly sky until we arrive at a gladeWhere the shadows gather at nightThe shadows dance in the night on the edge of two worlds, their foreplay to the kingdom comeThe shadows dance in the night where past and present collide, the bridge for mortals unexploredBetween two elms I stand marroned on the edge of the gladeWhile waiting to get back I watch the shadow's obscene plainEvery now and then a flame flashes and washes away a few souls through the gates of hell whereHe calls them to fulfill their fatesTwelve nights I've had this dream haunting me constantly by the dawnShe has always come and taken me back from this fantasyBut now the shadows surround me calling me enchantingly they grab me by my handsAnd lead me towards the gates of no return...
