Songtext von Sleep

Below the crystal moon's fading Where the sun has eternally failed Awaiting the hour, the coveted hour I leave the shores, slumbering pale An exodus into darkness On earthly soil I no longer walk Discerning a presence arcane I can hear the winds talk Into eternal sleep I now descend Into eternal sleep Here's where it ends In death I dwell Deep into the unknown On earth, merely a guest A beckoning silence Through the yonder to eternal rest Into eternal sleep I now descend Into eternal sleep Here's where it ends In death I dwell I can see the waves of old It is time for the final tide Death has come, come to reap Sending it's envoy to guide Shadows gather, Charon's calling Black is the river that runs deep We set sail on forbidden waters Dead but dreaming in eternal sleep Into eternal sleep I now descend Into eternal sleep Here's where it ends In death I dwell
