The Final Dream

Shake me from this unending dream
The voices of death echoing in my head
This turbulent sleep will cause my mind to become unscrewed
As the most dreaded of nightmares this one takes my mortality

My dream speaks of how my life will end
But is told in an obscure and circumlocutory way
I stand catering to a crowd which gazes up at me
As a mariachi who plays for an audience

Hang him they yell, crucify him they say
I cannot fathom which deed I have done
My hands our bound and my mouth is roped shut
Blades are unveiled and I will soon be cut

Give me a moment to say a quick prayer
then the heat of the knife as it singes my hair
my skin tears right open and my blood begins to spill
the crowd cheers teasingly amidst my own screams

Show him mercy they jest and I know its a lie
They throw stones and sharp glass and I lose my right eye
so I start to fall but the ropes hold me tight
this is how my life ends on this terrible night
