Dream Demon - Engelsstaub

Often I found my disappeared fortune in a

Nocturnal vision but it left me standing

Hopeless the same time just an alert dream

In daylight.

On the run from time and space

My soul searched for shelter just in this

Dream.

Oh, this dream was often my

Companion in this world of agony and

Confusion.

He met me in my loneliness

Sometimes — from afar — the glimmering

Twilight misteaded my mortal coil in my

Search for truth.

And one day I found my true

Dream: beyond time and space stretched

Out an obscure land and on a black throne

Ruled a demon, called the night.

I continued

To pace the land guided by a host of black

Angels.

Mounting fall abruptly — yawning

Jaws.

Oceans without coasts but with waves

Foaming in the burning sky and lakes with

Calm black waters.

Everywhere a befooled

Odow of sad and pale lilies.

I sat down on a

Cliff.

I listened to the eternal whisper of the

Land of the dead.

Then on the horizon Christ

Appeared.

He was wrapped in his bloody

Shroud.

The black angels began to sing and

Sad lilies died.

Am I awake?
