Beginning with a bang cracking the cave
and letting heavenly light into his hellish grave
the wall of matter is finally torn.
Out of his prison he comes like a newborn
Behind his senses, what does he see?
Fantastic, subconcious revery
to rearrange his disastrous past.
Both father and fiancée were killed at last
by a greedy monstrous hand.
Right ahead waits the final stand.
Roaring in anger comes the monster's attack
The dreamer in power throws it into the crack,
then closes to his meant to be wife
giving her perfect beauty and back her life.
"Where am I?" she asks blinking her eyes.
"Oh my beloved Victoria. Welcome to paradise."
"I remember being shot. Am I now dead?"
"Not anymore, still the mind left your head.
Now we are one and alive
forever. Let me call you wife!"
Never were they so free to love and desire
kissing all over one soul on fire.
Consuming beauty craving for more
yet his greed makes him lose control.
"Are you God?" asks Victoria.
Suddenly the beast's hand grabs his arm
dragging the dreamer back to the shadows
before awakening he gives her a response.
