The Book of Dreams

by Nick Gisburne



The book of despicable, dangerous dreams
Describing a path some are fearful to leave
The myths of a god who is not what he seems

A smokescreen for villains and vicious regimes
Its narrative twisted to cheat and deceive
The book of despicable, dangerous dreams

A hollow collection of arrogant schemes
Imposed on the gullible, needy, naïve
The myths of a god who is not what he seems

A banner for war and a shield for extremes
A licence to kill for the minds who believe
The book of despicable, dangerous dreams

A river of lies fed by poisonous streams
The wine of salvation, which none shall receive
The myths of a god who is not what he seems

Its doubters denounced with intolerant screams
The death rites of freedom, for which we should grieve
The book of despicable, dangerous dreams
The myths of a god who is not what he seems
