Dream Alone

~ Dream Alone ~
(Good people never die without the necessary evil that is hope, but many
of them have died without any possible way of knowing that they have it)

Halls of hell in gilded harems
Children crying, demons flying
Blood on walls of solid stone
Keep out angels, dream alone

Screaming boys in brothel cages
Bleeding girls on world-wide pages
Lost, denied or never known
No one’s coming, dream alone

Trained like dogs to beg for dinner
Spread your legs, play dead and whimper
Mom and dad made this your home
Curse survival, dream alone

Father Darwin’s sacred altar
Secret torture, strength and honor
Rape a virgin, raise a toast
Pray for vengeance, dream alone

Pious moans of lust and carnage
Silenced by a child’s courage
Razorblade and blood on stone
Daylight fading, dream alone

Loss of profit, barely noticed
Buried down the junk disposal
Chopped to chunks of flesh and bone
Here with you I dream alone
