I saw you in my dreams...

I saw you in my dreams

Digging graves of forlorn tales

Hunting bygone shadows

Of long forgotten fables

Aye! ‘Twas you I saw; when

Dead to the world and-

Darkness besieged the land

To shade ancient past; long lorn

I saw you in my dreams

Clad in raiment of gloom

Shovels, picks, mattocks

All harmed beneath your hands

All that were enclosed and buried

In tomb of time and season

I saw you digging and digging

Unmasking ancient past; long lorn

I saw her pleading for justice

That damsel raped unto disgrace

Could hear him; heard his voice

That man robbed and stabbed in owns face

My deceit, falsehood and iniquities I saw

All armed with weapons of war

Drawing nigh; accosting my door

Alas! These I cannot savour

I saw you in my dreams

Resurrecting dead forgotten scenes

In tomb of time and season

Disturbing ancient past long lorn

Forgive! Alas, forgive my wicked past

That I might in peace rest!
