Once upon a nightmare


Once upon a nightmare

A frivolous man stood up

Observing life he thought

“How much pain has this entity brought?”

An immortal heart expressed a plot

A sad tale he told

His heart feeling more cold

It far exceeded its threshold

Darkness overcame thou’s motive

Seeking nothing but everything

Turning him into a nameless king

Nothing he could not endure

Nothing but a cure

Everything seemed to allure

Betrayal sought his firm core

Trust he swore

Bowed in the floor

Giving it everything with an open door

Until he returned from the deep

The devil finally made his reap

Putting him in one final sleep
