Dark memories of grey fade in a flowy haze,
As I awaken entranced in a midnight maze,
A crimson labyrinth whose shameless secrets remain,
And whose serpentine alleys twist beyond age's train.

A flash of death flutters swiftly before my eyes,
And in Death's vision I fumble for my disguise,
My unsightly mask I wear beneath my face,
And upon my dainty countenance it adds an air of grace.

Ominous blue skeletons claw through my spine,
And leave a scent of vermillion,so dark yet divine
As beads of steel crawl out of my skull,
And a scream like Lucifer's kiss echoes hollow and dull.

Engulfed in a mist of dread that surges from deep within,
I watch the burgundy walls peel off my plastic skin
And there a barrage of butterflies sails down with strands of glass
Within their reflection I know this maze will come to pass.
