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)
