Somnium - Christian Death

Ice falls in the tempest

Waves of crystals solidify, suspended by silken thread

The scorpion has stung

The sovereign of passion has flung me

Into her sultry bed

I dreamt I was dreaming

That I was awake in a dream

Where being awake was real

As was dreaming it would seem

But then…

I dreamt I had awakened

From a dream that I was awake

Where all dreams are real

And being awake was a mistake

Bewitching me compassionately

In the vanishing horizon

Of a harmonious equinox

In the temple of the burning flame

Are angels whispering my name

Behind my ears and between my curly locks

I dreamt I was dreaming

That I was awake in a dream

Where being awake was real

As was dreaming it would seem

But then…

I dreamt I had awakened

From a dream that I was awake

Where all dreams are real

And being awake was a mistake

My love is suspended

Throughout the pluriverse for better or worse

I still dream the dream

The dawn of one world

Is the dusk of another perplexity is the mother

Of the eternal scheme

I dreamt I was dreaming

That I was awake in a dream

Where being awake was real

As was dreaming it would seem

But then…

I dreamt I had awakened

From a dream that I was awake

Where all dreams are real

And being awake was a mistake

I dreamt I was dreaming
