Nightmareland

Author's Note: This is not typical poetry. These are lyrics written for my band.

Welcome to our world of dreams, wonder and merriment
We'll make you believe in a land of decadence
Watch your step or you'll walk off the edge

You've got some tricks up your sleeves
Grow or shrink, reason or deceit
But we're ready no matter the feat

You're invited to enjoy our nightmareland
Pain ignited into the ecstasy
You've got so many days left to see
And you'll spend them holding hands
Here in our nightmareland

Welcome to a place of whims, despair and experiments
What you lost will be returned without lament
We're here to count the time you've spent
In this world you wanted

You're invited to enjoy our nightmareland
Pain ignited into your ecstasy
You've got so many days left to see
And you'll spend them holding hands
Here in your nightmareland

Skies of grey and fields of dismay
You'll find what you want in here
Skies of flame and fields that wane
You'll face all of the hate and shame
With us by your side
Brought here from your nightmare

You're invited to enjoy our nightmareland
Reality fades into insanity
So few days left for you to see
But you'll spend them mindless and broken
By the madness and token smile we give you
Welcome to our nightmareland
A place you'll never leave
