Lost In Insanity

Come and imagine, if you will
Dancing flowers on a meadow hill
Children playing in harmony
Every aspect of a perfect reality

Yet not quite real are the butterflies
And usually not seen are purple skies
Puppy dogs and kittens are here
Cuddling together without a fear

A mist is creeping over this plain
People stare at the coming change
A figure walks from the mist in black
Something strange; a face he lacks

He walks past the children crying in fear
He chuckles softly, too loud to hear
The twisted tree sings a brand new song
Filled with terror of world long gone

Demons dance as the sky clouds over
And the purple fades to a dark red thunder
Screams of terror and of true pain
Horrible laughter like that of the insane

"Do not fear." A voices says to me
"This is just a taste of your reality.
I did not make this world like this
You chose to allow the devil's kiss."

A light shines through of happiness
But all I see through this evil mist
Is the terror and pain in my world
Blood and screams from boys and girls

I begin to see the pattern then
They were killed to the tune found within
I laugh at the knowledge I had found
They say only madmen make such sounds

Years have past since the man, so dark
Came within my mind and my heart
I guess I've gotten used to the misery
Yet sometimes; I wonder if something is wrong with me
