Black Fire Rising

I lie awake
Afraid of what will happen if I fall asleep!
Once again to die
To see myself leave my body
To twist and turn in agony and pain - I'm afraid

"Come now - come join"

Abysmal plains so far below
Black fire rising
From the mist egress
The gates of hell

Is this for real?
Are dreams a gateway to the dead, the afterlife
To the other side
The realms of hell or light of heaven
I dare not fall asleep, don't want to meet my end!

Abysmal plains so far below
Black fire rising
From the mist egress
The gates of hell
