Waiting For Death

For the visions be not endured
Like minded for the foes I have before me
If life was but a dream
am I burdened to be awake or asleep?
Eternity in silence shall I be
Until the one above reclaims me
But until then I’ll wait in the vast plains of death
yet be heard is what lies ahead
The chains are bound to my feet and hands
No movement shall past through these deserted lands
Four walls each with a mind of their own
Doomed I am to stay here forever alone
