Dread

Between the space of sleep
And wakefulness
I have become
Your sleep paralysis

Sifting through the blackened veils
Roaming through the murky seas
Searching for the ones unscathed
For they have much to lose

Spirit of righteousness
Visit the souls that crawl
Darkness shall be their friend
Cleanse them of delusion

Follow the voice of the one who calls
Evaporate into the astral plane
Fall away into the mare of night
Open the eyes of the blinding light

Frigid as the air that cuts my skin
Surrounded by the mist of emptiness
Eternal moment as I lie awake
The fear subsides, for now I breathe again
