Melodies this night do justice in their right

to the dreaming beggar of strife turned alight

If you remain; protection is offered

but leave natures castle and a trial awaits

The trial tells of tales that shudder in their pages

that lay in mocking life grown asunder

it seeps through your pores and settles ever after

and whispers the secrets of death at your door

To bask in the untarnished light of protection

you can never be free to garner true bliss

you'll live forgotten and die unknown

forever happy but forever alone

The beggar may choose and all will be forgiven

this night cannot be sought again do not be mistaken

the darkness lurks not only without but within

remember these words and understand what you've seen

serenity blaze

Your title caught my eye, because, um, I sometimes sing in my sleep.

I loved the mystical quality of this...like a page from a book of hours.

Enjoyed.
