When the sunset burned out
And the moon rose on the birth of the night,
Then the fireflies came out
With the vampires, setting their sights
On the bonfire's black light
Where the water caresses the sand.
There were prayers and last rites.
There was power in the palm of my hand.
So I slew my demons
And I knew I, I was summoned again
To this dreamland station,
Called to battle
When I'm only a man in a dream.

Interpretation

The dream apparently was while sleeping in a house or apartment along Easton Avenue, which runs along the south side of the Raritan River in New Brunswick.  Dreams while feverish can be very intense, and this one involves vampires, death (last rites), magic, and battles with demons.  Whoa!
