The Nightmare Game

Welcome, one, and greetings, all,
Join us now for Heaven's fall.
Roll the dice, make your bet,
Ensure a night you'll not forget.
Let us play the Nightmare Game.

The turning of the glass of hours,
The stirring of the corrupt powers,
Hands are dealt, limbs removed,
Cheating's all around approved,
The beginning of our Nightmare Game.

Gold die screams, blue enchants;
The red produces fire ants,
Purple sees through to the soul,
And green displays a gaping hole,
They're tools of this, the Nightmare Game.

Shut the door and dim the lights,
Prepare your self for awful frights,
For with each and every turn,
Closer is your time to burn,
The first round of your Nightmare Game.

A girl in white doth shed her tears,
A reaper cloaked in shadow nears,
A man is hanged on yonder tree,
A ghost  who's yearning to be free,
All have played their Nightmare Game.

What's left to put in the pot,
When your life is all you've got?
Will you give all they can take?
Is this the final choice you'll make?
Please enjoy the Nightmare Game.

Darkness envelopes us all,
Next will come an eternal fall;
We've  danced and sang every verse,
Now it's time to board the hearse,
Have you lost the Nightmare Game?

Sitting up, breathing hard,
You've not yet played your final card.
Are you now safe, did you awake?
Give yourself another shake,
Did you win the Nightmare Game?

Your soul is free, your life is long;
As a contestant, you indeed were strong.
You hope that you'll never return,
Which goes to show you've much to learn.
You cannot choose the Nightmare Game.

No escape, no  place to hide in,
No one around good enough to confide in,
Blood and pain, a chance of death,
A gasping of your final breath,
See you at next Nightmare Game.
