Asleep Is the Fire

In colder dreams
An eon away
Darker be the night
And never be the day
The ever fainting moonlight
Brightens up the skies
But every passing hour
The fire slowly dies
I am waiting in a colder dream
I’m frozen in time
Feel the fire that will never be
I’m fading away
To the dark and hidden void I will not return
To the warm and glowing rays
Of a star who once shined
An air of silence falls
As I take a final breath
A last gasp of steam
I lay my eyes to rest
I feel the sudden footsteps
Of people gathering
A darkened sheet, a veil
Covers as they sing
I am waiting in a colder dream
I’m frozen in time
Feel the fire that will never be
I’m fading away
To the dark and hidden void
I will not return
To the warm and glowing rays
Of a star who once shined
Asleep is the fire
Pavidum leti genus humanum cogis longam discere noctem
"Force all humans, fearful of death to gain knowledge of the long night"
Asleep is the fire
In colder dreams
I would still be alive
Though the world has froze
Shadows would survive
And there I’d wander free
Without a single care
I’d lurk along the walls
None would be aware
I am waiting in a colder dream
I’m frozen in time
Feel the fire that will never be
I’m fading away
Tonight the shadows will swallow the fire
Tonight the frozen souls of anguish will conquer the flames
The last entire trace of light escapes and fades
Tonight the clutches of death have grasped my feeble breath
Asleep is the fire
I am trapped inside a dream
I’m frozen inside
The flames will never be
I’m fading away
To the dark and hidden void
And here I will stay
With the cold and icy rays
Of a star that’s now died
Asleep is the fire
Awake death eternal at play is the dark
Absorb flaming starlight
Pavidum leti genus humanum cogis longam discere noctem
"Force all humans, fearful of death to gain knowledge of the long night"
Asleep is the fire
Awake death eternal
I am trapped inside a dream
I’m frozen inside
The flames will never be
I’m fading away
To the dark and hidden void
And here I will stay
With the cold and icy rays
Of a star that’s now died
Pavidum leti genus humanum cogis longam discere noctem
"Force all humans, fearful of death to gain knowledge of the long night"
(Seneca, Hercules)
