Only in a dream, I would run
From the dark tendrils of the sun
Seeking to snatch me from safety
Making me wretch, my thoughts crazy
My wits are unwound, I'm undone.

Useless efforts spent to outrun
The trepidity has begun
Threatening then to consume me.
Only in a dream.

Slowly disintegrating, one
By one, in the heat of the sun
Dragging me out to the black sea
Where is the valor? There is none-
Only in a dream.
