Unum Acerbumdulce

You close your weary eyes and pray
For tales spun to bring you forth.
For grand adventures night and day,
To have your compass guide true north.

Do you choose to heed the calls,
And do you take the dark descent?
Of sugar highs and lethal falls,
Where madness lies without lament.

Do you stand to wage a war?
Then brave Explorer, be aware.
To live a life worth fighting for,
Fate’s bittersweet and never fair.

This world is far from sound of mind
By blackened heart, by crimson hand.
Do not be fooled by cover’s bind,
For this is not your Wonderland.
