Delirium

On nights so cold it came along  

How it crept in to my heart 

Shining down through the window 

A light out in the dark 

And though as still here I’m standing 

Stricken by the blinding light 

Inside something is changing 

And it’s stirring in the night 

The sky so dark the streets so empty 

Distorted views and twisting paths 

Thoughts obscured a mind so brooding  

And soon to be unmasked 

And though as still here I’m standing 

From heavens eye a light is shone 

For the time is upon us 

And to death we walk alone
