Deep as a Dream

by Nick Gisburne





This is the ending of all I have known.
Weary and worthless, defeated, I die,
Deep as a dream, in the darkness, alone.

Torn from a body of muscle and bone,
Death is upon me before I can fly.
This is the ending of all I have known.

Neither a grave nor a marker of stone,
Only a spectre, a shadow, a sigh,
Deep as a dream, in the darkness, alone.

Sentenced to silence, too late to atone,
No one is waiting to wave me goodbye.
This is the ending of all I have known.

Destiny smothers the seeds I have sewn,
Lost to the wilderness, sold to the sky,
Deep as a dream, in the darkness, alone.

Alone.

Death has no kingdom, no treasure, no throne.
Emptiness, knowing my life was a lie.
This is the ending of all I have known,
Deep as a dream, in the darkness, alone.

Deep as a dream, in the darkness, alone.

Deep as a dream, in the darkness, alone.
