Gamble Thy Soul

Morbid hallucinations haunt me,
And distract my perception of reality
I wake up only to find that I still am dreaming,
Drowning into multitudinous seas of undefined questions
My capricious conscience knows neither right nor wrong,
Vices or virtues, Satan or God
I fear the unknown,
The known fears me
I conformed o ' world, I conformed till' now
Inquisitive I am, inquisitive so much
To decipher the cryptic notions, to comprehend the mystic illusions
I shatter my belief to begin a new quest
Grim whispers of the forests of fate
Say sets sail a gambling maverick
For in monster manifested seas
Are both treasures and death
