The Soul Must Sleep

(album: Spirit The Earth Aflame - 2000)

"I have crossed the seas, I have left cities behind me
And I have followed the source of rivers towards their source
Or plunged into forests, always making for other cities

I have had women, I have fought with men
And I could never turn back ever any more than a record can spin in reverse
And all that was leading me where
To this very moment..."

I sink below the waves
Is this what I've been looking for?
It seems
I've found someone to die for
Someone to lie for...

I've drunk my fill of misery
It's time to move on
Restless and forgiving
It will lead me to the grave

Let's leave for other worlds
Leave the future behind
Here... my will has been spent
So let us depart...

So let us depart
Before the night
Steals upon us
The wretchedness of another day
