Time was ceased in my cold dream
A place so odd, yet it seemed
as there was a bond between
the dream and reality
An old wooden door I opened and saw
A feast of the noble, beg of the poor
An old man, encircled by children, gazing
at me and telling a tale of the woe
But suddenly they all vanished
The view it dimmed to black
The sound so bizarre I heard
Echoing in my head
Sirens were singing a lullaby
To a man of sorrows - the dying one
Wolves howling like a furious wind
Sword in the heart of a tenacious beast
Up on the cliff a giant was chained
Mountains reflecting echoes of screams
Deep in the ocean, into the storm
A drunken sailor snoring while drowned
Then I saw an anger and rage
of skies and seas, wind and ground
far beyond alone I went
followed the path that no one dared
A violent breath of a raging wind
wraith of the nature was unleashed
shaking ground, mountains collide
clash of thunder, rain of fire
I recall the sight so bizarre
The touch of something divine
I closed my eyes
I felt her warmth
embracing my soul
eyes open wide
goddess I saw
I could not move
or even talk
feeling was strange
soon she was gone
