Hell's Encore

Upon awakening; I asked myself afore this mirrors red rainwater reflection 

Why am I here dancing with these slipknot silhouetted shadows.... 

Ghost about this acids, crossbones darkened gray grim stage!? 

With its masquerade of lost within the midnight ball of nothing at all

Except empty chairs and silent sounds, of round and round these

Torn crimson curtains and blood drenched floors aflame....

Broken chandeliers with rusted chains; wilted roses strewn amid 

Tarots paralyzed petrified walls of lifeless corpses rising?!

Reaching from their tombs of trapped in times take another bow

Somehow, atop the balconies ledge as the answer became clear 

In ashes before these breathless slivers within, this shattered image....
