Oblivion - MICHAEL ROMEO

We listen in one late October eye

The locket swings before my eyes

Moth to a flame intoxicatingly

It lures me in, yet can’t say why

Are we just so naïve?

This tangled web we weave

Misleading — far-reaching

On this night — into oblivion

My blood runs cold

Now paralyzed with fear

They storm the gates — my enemy

It always seems so dark this time of year

Illusion veils reality

Are we just so naïve?

This tangled web we weave

Earth shaking — heart racing

On this night — into oblivion

The faces on the wall

Their shadows standing tall

And too afraid to ask

«What's underneath the mask?»

Into oblivion…
