The Nightmare I've Dreamed Of

The slow life is comfortable
predictable and easy
You do what you need to do
accomplish what need be
A walk in the night time
ubiquitous night air
Dew drops drip lightly
the fox kills the bear

This is the nightmare I've dreamed of
This is the dream of the the wild
Soon come the cries of the night dove
Soon fall the tears of the child
This is the nightmare I've dreamed of
This is the ego beguiled
Will the blind flight of the night dove
Carry us beyond the Nile

The generation sees the light
it flocks towards the flame
They understand the situation
recognize the name
The things they don't understand
are things unimportant
The one they don't recognize
the narcisistic sycophant

These are the nightmares I've dreamed of
These are the ignorant truths
These are the sights of the dream dove
Set upon ignorant youth
These are the nightmares I've dreamed of
These are the things that I see
This is what the dream dove
Parades in front of me

The unsoundly voice
crackles a bit
"I don't think that you
can kill that cigarette"
Behaviour addictive
takes what it can get
Oblivious conditions
unsecure the net

This is the nighmare I've dreamed of
This is the action that kills
This is the way that the dark dove
Pays off Jesus' bills
This is the nightmare I've dreamed of
This is the breath that I take
This is the power the dark dove
Makes certain I cannot take.
