When I sleep My eyes are open Shimmering like stars Under an eclipse of reason Trailing shadows in the dark
Capricious and mercurial Trickster bard and mage My mentor is an oracle A pundit of the age Decoding a secret lore For this errant druid page
The wizard necromancer In a metaphysic trance Warns this would-be sorcerer To take a second glance My telepathic hypnotist Is well beyond advanced
He reveals that sweet Arcadia Is below the River Styx Though stunning sirens offer hope And fallen angels kiss I must cross the realms of Pluto To reach Nirvana's bliss
