Tales of a Dead City

I can remember times of
Peace and of complacency
Where fear was a fairy tale
My parents narrated me

But my world turned fast into a
Desolate place in the dust of time
No one else around me, just their
Old forgotten signs

When I close my eyes I feel
Loneliness for beyond redemption
When I close my eyes there is
Nothing left but isolation

So many people surrounded
Me my whole life long but
Like shadows fear the sun
They are all gone

All this places where I
Have been for so many years
Are now just naked stones
They all lost their souls

Cold winds invade the
Forsaken streets like no human
Being had ever walked the earth
Is anyone left out there?

I am lost in my memories
Of colors and lights
I forgot all morality and I
Feel numb night by night

Faint reflections of the
Past are watching me through
Broken glass and mirrors

Hate and charges
Fill their empty eyes
Ice-cold and motionless
Trapped in eternity

More and more I fall into a trance
Everything around me fades into grey
Reality and ficition conflate into
A world that shouldn't exist

Paranoia, anxiety states;
I feel haunted, there is no way out
Step by step I'm losing my mind
Insantiy prevails, takes over command

My eyes wide open
My blood's running fast
I am caught in delirium
Am I alive at last?

Is it air that fills my lungs
Or was it all just a dream?
Is it all just in my head
And not as real as it seems?
