I just dreamt of Satan

In his dark and eerie lair

There was someone playing music

On a harp with strings of hair

Snakes crawled in open pits

Slithering, hissing, intertwining

Torches burned with muted flames

Could hear a distant whining

Wolves howling at the moon

The sound of dripping water

Drumbeats echoing in the shadows

Amid spells of frozen laughter

People in masks, scary faces

In different acts of sin

Looking at me with vacant eyes

Beckoning me to join in

I was swaying to the music

Smiling, in a state of limbo

Moving wildly as the beat built

To a deafening crescendo

Shivering, in cold sweat I woke

Not knowing where I’d been

Heart beating at a crazy speed

At what I thought I’d seen

Tempted to go back in there

A dark part of me intrigued

Sleep evades, am wide awake

But my mind is still besieged
