the heroes have died
in the wake of sleep
shedding distant dreams of granduer
echoing faint memories of them.

they've left
or died
in hopes of romantic visions
revisited by faint cries of horror
sucking us down.

no more heroes lie awake
no more dreamers wake
no more the floods of glory and victory

now there is only sleep
in the hopes of final rest

but not even that remains
