Got off of work one night; laid in bed and fell asleep
Had a dream about dragons and sorcery
And you were in it. You were as pretty as can be.
You unsheathed your sword and asked me if I were ready
Felt the plunge, and when I awoke there was
A hole in my body
Next night laid on the couch and watched T.V.
Turned the channel to an old black and white movie
And we were in it. You were as pretty as can be.
Your cheeks were like charcoal and satin. It felt just like a dream,
But when I turned my back you had a gun and you shot
A hole in my body
Next night I was scared to fall asleep
‘Kept anticipating the next scenario and how it would be,
But when I blinked, I was standing by a stream.
You were behind me as pretty as can be.
I was kickin’, but I couldn’t keep myself—
Keep myself from sinkin’
Last night I was more than ready
To confront the beautiful grim reaper of my dreams.
I was determined not to be put to death,
But you weren’t there. I was in a room with a small chest,
And inside was a letter written from you to me
It said, “Your boldness and bravery
Has brought death to me.
