In the nightmare he appeared
Like the threat of winter's night
He beckoned me forward
And bade me gaze into the fire

And then he spoke aloud: “All shall come to dread and darkness!”
The light fled into the abyss of his malicious eyes
I cowered in my fear, paralyzed by dread and darkness
But there were none around, save he, to hear my frightened cries

Apocalyptic visions
Of the fall of my kingdom
The ruin of my works
The death of all that I hold dear

I saw, with my own eyes, my world succumb to dread and darkness
I watched in horror as the yawning gulf opened wide
Within the chasm dwelt the essence of all dread and darkness
It seemed to laugh in triumph as I fell and died

But then I woke, and in my mind was only dread and darkness
Condemned forever to behold the world with madman's eyes
Now I shall build a monument to honor dread and darkness
And through the icy fog of death, a pillar shall rise

In the nightmare he appeared
A herald of sorrow and woe
He beckoned me forward
And showed me glimpses of the end
