Wraith Reveries — Twilight Ophera

They slithered to stage a drums distant called thrice Until shadows take shape sight of the watcher hides Shrouded in odeum shade, disguised

Once and always shall wait Man in cursed masquerade and penetrate Trance of pyrthic parade

Trace the echoes for memories end I dragged them around marionetted rend In oneiric dance until violins lay silent For curtains to descend

Faces that pristine laughter held Yet they are pathless and they are gone

Gone My mind fleeing all torments of life Prgastic pageantry in somniferous strife On primrose path with deaths concubine
