A dream of inverse reality, a world of fantasy or a nightmare, depending on the dreamer.
Rivers flow upwards into oceans afloat,
The void coruscates clad in chaos's coat,
The sun is the moon, the earth is the sky
And the deepest silence is a crystalline cry.

Left becomes right and right becomes wrong,
Love becomes sinister, few become throng,
Justice is wicked, piety is lust,
Despair is joy and corruption is just.

The garden of Eden is teeming with sin,
Blasphemy is prayer resounding within,
Angels are humans who drowned in their faith,
Having sought kindness from oblivion's wraith.

Treading across an ebbing sea of night,
A gust of morning delivered me from fright.
