I flew on the back of a night so deep
Striving for the peace sought in my sleep

A girdle of flame enveloped my flight
Branding souls, with irons hot in my sleep

Alone and outnumbered,the foe unseen
He was within, with evil fraught in my sleep

Blistering in a furnace,the door mocking stood
Torturing a mind that the devil fought in my sleep

The downward spiral was unending, bottomless
Weightlessly crushing hope to nought in my sleep

There is no way out, only one through
The Victory of death, so dearly bought in my sleep
