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
