Ladies and gentlemen, an idiot

THE DREAM MASTER

He comes within the night, in corners of darkened rooms

A shadow in your sleep, above your mind he looms -

You scream in the night, terror and fright

The Dream Master takes you away

A landscape of horrors, he himself is the worst

Awaken or his prisoner you’ll stay.

You smile in the night, joy and delight

The Dream Master takes you away

A fitful sleep he provides, your guardian he resides

Awaken to the brightness of day.

Sweet dreams or worst terrors?

What will he bring?

He is the only one who knows.

He forever lurks in your mind

In brightest light

And darkest shadow.
