Nocturnal Feast

Then, came the dreaded canyon as the sky lit up like flames 

Recollecting mysteries, those memories to blame

It came upon so suddenly, could hardly hold my breath

Was it just a ghoulish dream, it scared me half to death

 

I suddenly stood so very still, my heartbeat was so loud

Standing in the crowed bus, I kept above the crowd

Before me stood the wretched foul, he dared for me to speak

My breath turned cold, my eyes, bloodshot, I turned from strong to weak

 

How could it be, it can’t be true, this vision in my head

I felt my pulse, it wasn’t there, I thought I must be dead

But in that dreadful moment as I thought I’d lost my mind

I felt a tug, a loving hug, the joy was so sublime

 

Can’t comprehend, the feelings felt, from bitterness to love

Interplay came by my way, from hell or from above

This couldn’t be, the spirit world, it has no place for me

But then, reflecting, be this war, I’d break the chains, be free

 

But why in dreams, nocturnal feast, it captured all my tears

As years go by, this truth retold, encapsulated fears

Again, the dream, it caught a glimpse, my armor chipped and worn

Or was it real, it can’t be true, mere victim and forlorn

 

Spiritual warfare lights the night, the battle rages on

Just mere mortal, my armor on, before the

break of dawn

The battle for my soul, you see, the victory was won

When the Father sent the Christ, our God, the only Incarnate Son

 

And truth be told it was foretold before the world began

The logical priority of His glorious master plan

He foreknew that Lucifer would fall because of pride

And in the garden once they ate, ashamed, they had to hide

 

From then on, till present day, he comes in fear and rage 

Devouring all that he can dupe until the final page 

I’d best beware, no common fool, a dreadful adversary 

The consequence, temptation grasps, the idols that I carry

 

The only place that peace be found, amongst the glorious One

If I’m not trusting, faith in Christ, the battle lost, not won

From age to age, from east to west, the outcome, preordained 

His sacrifice on bloodied cross, His victory was gained

 

So dreams they come and dreams they go to frighten you at night

The devil and his lurid schemes will falter in Christ’s light

Division bell, the time will come, when he will be no more 

In God alone, his fate is sealed, to hell and shut the door
