Old City Shut


Sleep now Old City
Close your eyes to the lurking
Dream while the nightmares breed
Clawing, gnawing, vomiting on your walls
Lurking shadows feeding on the wayward

Sleep Old City
Pretend the living darkness isn’t real
Tight eyes wait for dawn’s relief
Forcing your subconscious into submission
Even if the cages bars are twisted

How long Old City
You cannot continue this dualism indefinitely
Without warning the sun will refuse
Aborted children will freely roam
As it was in the time of the void

Until that night
Sleep
Sleep it all away
