Chopin's Nightmare
I've seen earth suffocate unto final agony
A requiem's sanctity, formaldehyde sea
Life passed me by as impromptu fantasy
Marche Funèbre from my reliquary
Hearkening to find, reality or mind?
Is this death, or have I gone blind?
Telltale is heartbeat, coffined, confined
Paralyzed in sanity's silent unwind
What if I had mentioned
The horrors I've conceived?
Faint pounding of soil
Tormentors: the bereaved
Nocturne's negation
Vivisection salvation
Four-chambered anxiety
A prelude to eternity
Eternity, go
I've seen God, one who has since abandoned me
Could such anguish truly be of His decree?
Polonaise and waltz in this game of psyche
I've composed the soundtrack to my mortality
Woefully entombed, not to be exhumed
Ruin has befallen, erroneously assumed
Terminal opus, concerto for the doomed
By gravest of my fears, this life has been consumed
What if I had mentioned
To rip my core from me?
Faint pounding of soil
Étude for incapacity
This is my nightmare come true
This is my nightmare come true
Nocturne's negation
Vivisection salvation
Four-chambered anxiety
A prelude to eternity
Four-chambered anxiety
A prelude
To eternity, go
