Ten

I am alone
Haze overwhelms consciousness
Behind the shadows, whispers feed the darkness
My thoughts paralyze the silent fear
I see only nothingness drifting from the void
A namelss enigma pushes me forward
Or does it beckon from the mist ahead
Cold dread hangs upon me, dripping
I know not what lies beyond
Ten dreams will lead me there

Ten days, ten trees, ten paths, ten fears, ten gates opening
Ten whispers, ten visions, ten dark dreams
Searching through my fears oh so long
Ten days, ten weeks, ten years
I'm running down rocky paths under the weeping trees
Ten gates are rising before me
I fall onto my knees

For there amid the darkness deep
I was led by...

Ten days, ten trees, ten paths, ten fears, ten gates opening
Ten whispers, ten visions, ten dark dreams
Whispers echo in circles around
Ten rhymes, ten songs, ten voices
The mist is slowly taking form
It's drifting over me
Inside ten dreams I have seen
A glimpse of what will be

For there amid the darkness deep
Under days damned
I was struck with all the truth ever known to man

Searching through my fears oh so long
Ten days, ten weeks, ten years
I've traveled here through space and time
To find what's haunted me
I thought my dreams would rake me down
Instead they've opened me

For there amid the darkness deep
Under days damned
I was struck with all the truth ever known to man
