sleep
When it's time for you to go
get your key
and open the locked door
and on your way out kiss the mask
Sleep
and in the shadowy past
search in vain for love
and the chimes will awaken you
to the sound of lightning
Down the corridors of time
age goes by drink the wine
look through the tunnel eyes
see the serpent die
shed the skin and crawl inside
take a trodden path
feel the fire
fear the wrath
never looking back in time
stains on the wall
life is numbing
a stranger calls
and you look to see the face
no eyes no mouth no trace
Run
Run to the edge of the knife
catch yourself before you fall
slowly you rise from the ash
there you see the cast
and they're calling to you
"come with us oh come with us
take our hand in lust
oh come with us"
Breath the air
stench is everywhere
the children have no cares
"Come with us"
Images in the crowd
surrounded by the masses
Dream aloud
Can't you SCREAM aloud?
"Don't be afraid
just take our hands"
and on the way out you see no way out
Run away!
break away
you're free just run away
See the river?
swim away
drowning now you are
drowning now
scream for
someone to take you home
someone to take you home
