You dwell among us friend...

You dwell among us friend right through to our end,
Engulf us into your delirium.
We are under your duress we are prisoners of sorrow.
Sometimes in our dreams we try to escape from you,
But you are the fears keeper.
We are waiting your demise but you just laugh instead
Remind us that we are your prisoners of sorrow.
You are always two in one;
One half is Earth Wisdom, the other half is wishes.
That is why sometimes with pain you bring to us relief
But we are still prisoners of sorrow.
Our guilt in complicity - we feed your simplicity.
Raving flag of the plague, looking close in our eyes.
And this contact sure has impact.
Sooner or later it doesn’t matter...
Anyone who rebels will be gone, down the well.
You can run as far as you can
But your sorrow will still be with you.
His discrete personality,
His adhesive gaze,
His frightening cheer
Upon time, will stay above our senseless heads...
