Somnium (Skit)

The dream is always the same

It's raining

The sound of thunder underlines my terror

Lightning silhouettes titanic beasts in the sky

Their cries echoing above me

I am running

But never know from whom or what

As I come over the hill

I see the mansion

Seeking shelter from the storm

With resignation, I approach the structure

Abandoned and dilapidated

Countless times I had been here

In this exact moment

But whether from my fear or by waking

I had never been able to enter

This time, however, something had changed

The door opens before me

I hesitate, as somehow I know

I am not welcome here

But I cannot turn back

My hands tremble

A chill crawls up my spine

As I stare into the darkness

And I feel the most unsettling gravity

Beckoning me up the steps

Pulling me from the inside-out

Towards the abyss before me

I hold my breath, stepping out of the rain

To enter the mansion in my nightmare
