Nocturne

These barbed-wire groves
These death-crushed skulls
I sit and ponder the paradox
As cycles turn;
These rivers of blood
These dreams of God
I smile softly to myself
As everything burns

And I'm floating in the space between life and death
Between madness and pain I catch my breath
The night is done and the day has come
So lay me down in the stone-cold tomb
