Sailing Island Part 4 One nights dream

Last night
I saw the day
That i lost my mind
A sign
From another time
Threats close in on my island
But are they what i should fear
These visions
These Prophecies
All show
That I cannot win
These warmongers
That advance on my island
Will surely kill me
But if i win
If i save my island
My dreams all show
That this voyage of solitude
This loyal binding to my floating rock
Will be the thing, in the end
That pushes me over the edge
And drives me to oblivion
But why
Why would my island do this
This bastion of peace
Why would it torment me so
Like a knife in my pillow
It has shown me comfort
At the price of my mind
At the price of my life
