She came in dreams of fear Oh she seemed so real In her hands, held a vision of my life And sands she turned for time She said to me look now, for when For when the last grain falls Memories of me, in time, will fade Then the dream, it seems alive And its promise revealed to me Leads me to the vile fountain To soak myself to death "Oh serene its clawing embrace" Black roses did bloom Oh my thorns were sharp And her blood on my shards I do long Every night she serenades me With her hymns of doom She comes to me once more She smiles, and dream in peace once again
