You Can Choose Your Dream, But They Will Choose Your Nightmare

The Howl of the Nightmare

You can choose your dream, but they will choose your nightmare

Ignore the sun pushing through looming storm clouds

And cry not when for you they simply do not care

Slither away underground to your comfortable lair

Ensconce yourself in your pretty digital shrouds

You can choose your dream, but they will choose your nightmare

Be the axe that falls upon the necks of those who dare

Burn them down, salt the earth, along with fertile crowds

And cry not when for you they simply do not care

Forget about it all, it’s all happening “over there”

It’s not our children slaughtered laid to rest in bloody shrouds

You can choose your dream, but they will choose your nightmare

Be the clothing of the sheep that all the wolves wear

Protect them from the ire of the burgeoning crowds

And cry not when for you they simply do not care

Stay chained in your cave never knowing the sun’s glare

The shadows on the wall are your pure white fluffy clouds

You can choose your dream, but they will choose your nightmare

And cry not when for you they simply do not care
