PHANTASMAL TERRAIN





you walk in the shadows
dodging shafts of light
the whispering man offers
secrets of the path

you keep hiding
from the hunting dogs
the rabbit lives on
sleeping with your past

the hourglass is cracked
the sands of time spilling
the value of lies
is working like a charm

as the stars fall around
lighting up the meadow
dance among the flowers
you'll do no harm

howls from beyond the trees
ring deep through the night
play your lyre 'til dawn
and don't ever look behind

don't let your regrets
tear your castle down
offering walls to dust
to the unforgiving wind.

the past is deceit...
a screen of illusions...
a phantasmal terrain...
used to break your focus!
Look ahead! Look ahead!
