Chimera

As the wind begins to wail just before the storm
It's becoming clearer to me now
And all around me I can hear the waves
Revealing shores finally found

Sea breeze whispers of fortunes to behold
Clandestine port of ages
Past the gates lay the memories of kings
With all that I have dreamt locked inside

A lifetime spent waiting
An end to my searching

The winding chambers lead the way below
And into the arms of my fate
I reach a reward that was never there
And watch it shift into my worst fear

Nightmare made real
Hubris now named fear

Dreams fade with an elusive mirage
That twists and turns before my eyes
A horror that I can't escape disguised
As my one desire

Into the belly of the beast
With fleeting hope, my only friend
One final glance into the void
And the Chimera grins

Dreams fade with an elusive mirage
That twists and turns before my eyes
A horror that I can't escape disguised
As my last desire
