"Defer to me on all your woes

and i shall guard your sleep.

The dreamers shan't awaken,

no, they shall sleep in peace."



"Gradually I'll gain your trust,

And all is mine to keep.

Fictitious informations,

will leave you gaunt and weak."



"I haunt the tossing dreamers,

Their dreams are mine to keep.

They gradually awaken

the throbbing inner beast."



"Their tears are swept and blown away,

their dreams are mine to keep.

And all they have forsaken

is the nourishment i seek."



"Nevermore will you reform,

no, never see the same.

The rotten skies betray your fall

you'll never fly again."



"The tyrants have awoken

and none shall sleep in peace

and those who havn't slept in years

soon shall be released."
