Who is it who's the sorrier?

You or the sleeping warrior?
The tests of time infuse dreams
Nothing is quite as it seems ...

For all those battlescars suffered
Are only in the mind, proffered ...
Your battlegrounds are all there
Where your wars were fought quite bare

And as the rope whips around your neck
The conscious mind breaks with the suspect
Leaping to your rescue, and opening eyes
As hands then pull the sheets down ...
showing the lies

- Tristram
