Nero fiddles in blood stained toga watching me run from giant ogre as I'm caught this scene changes as other horrors my mind arranges with tooth and claw, demon rides my back forcing me to some medieval rack feel the coarse ropes my wrists bite feet kicking, desperate for flight swiftly I'm transported once again across time to a darkened lane still running as best I can cannot think of any other plan chased by ghouls, ghosts and more in sea of faces appears him next door legs not working, full of lead cannot escape these living dead finally collapsing, greet the ground bays the thong, an evil sound need to rise, yet not allowed I lie before this vengeful crowd before my blood their thirst they slake shaking and soaked in sweat, I wake But wait, all is not as it may seem the nightmare, is beyond this silly dream it's when about your parting as I cried leaving me only emptiness by my side
