I Got My Dead Man Sleep lyrics

I got my dead man sleep I lived as wolf among the sheep With screaming hate I hide the tear But at night my daemons made me fear I laid me down in autumn rain A man should not live in shame I sleep underneath red leaf The maple's gift to hide my grief I was the ahab of my life My wrath was my love and my wife I hunt through oceans for the whale To burden him with wrath and fail While I dream I wither away I'll never see the spring in may The wolves will dig out all my bones They scattered rot between the stones My rest seems now calm and deep Finally I got my dead man sleep
