Standing on a strange shore
This desolate coastline
It offers cold comfort
Very little more than the sky
For a blanket
The earth for my bed
Thethreads upon the loom of life
Have foreordained your coming here
So weep not mannikin of mankind
Dry your worthless puppettears
Unanswered questions
How they play on my mind
Now that darkness is falling and
Still there's no sign of my guide
Either I have been betrayed
They have left me to die
Or worse still at this moment he lies
An unwitting victim by brigands attacked
Left naked and dead with a knife
In his back
Childhood terrors return to me now
From the rand stench of fear in
The sweat on my brow
Deciet and despair are to me
Kith and kin
Seduced into slumber
My nightmare begins
Welcome welcome to my domain
I have been biding my time
Watching and waiting
But now you are mine
Weaving the web that entwines you
Like a puppet you play on the end
Of your strings 'till the end of
Your days
Daylight flees as night gives chase
I'm held in panics dank embrace
I smother in his cold caress
The sum of all my worthlessness
I have been told to thank the Lord
For all that He will send
But if death should come to meet me
Must I greet him as a friend
Now I see that this quest is
A test of my fidelity
Has God forsaken me
When maddness sings his lullaby a
Nightmare filled with unknown things
To cast aspersion on my sanity
Faith starts to flounder in
A mind torn apart
My thoughts move in time with
The beat of my heart
A creature of habit
I make easy prey
Cross faith and fire cannot
Hold at bay the beast that
Pursues me
The end drawing near
My soul keeps no secrets
He knows what I fear
Flying so high on the wings
Of a dream
Over mountain and forest
'Cross river and stream
While the creatures that feed
Off the doubts I invent
Await my arrival with evil intent
Welcome welcome to my domain
I have been biding my time
Watching and waiting
But now you are mine
Weaving the web that entwines you
Like a puppet you play on the end
Of your strings 'till the end of
Your days
So in that twilight world that
Lies amidst life and death I dream
And writhe in fitful slumber noone
Hears mjy silent screams
Except the horses head that stares
With black and lifeless eyes
Atop its totem glaring as it mocks
My helpless cries
Now I see that this quest is
A test of my fidelity
Has God forsaken me
When maddness sings his lullaby a
Nightmare filled with unknown things
To cast aspersion on my sanity
Shapeless form surround me
Casting shadows in the night
I feel their breath upon me
Catch their faces in the light
Somnambulistic hunters come
To prey upon my fears
As peals of psycopathic laughter
Echo in my ears
Startled I waken from my
Deathlike sleep
Though fearful and shaken
I crawl to my feet
Still my memories taunt me
Like ghosts they appear
Forever to haunt me when
Darkness draws near
Welcome welcome to my domain
I have been biding my time
Watching and waiting
But now you are mine
Weaving the web that entwines you
Like a puppet you play on the end
Of your strings 'till the end of
Your days
Then fleeing from the terrors
At the night before I leave
The remenants of reality behind
Me 'neath the trees
Waking in the light of dawn I
Pray that God will send
His wisdom now to guide me
Through this nighttime without end
Now I see that this quest is
A test of my fidelity
Has God forsaken me
When madness sings his lullaby a
Nightmare filled with unknown things
To cast aspersion on my sanity
