Beyond The Wall Of Sleep

(album: North From Here - 1993)

Fade into a dream
Deep into a dormant pseudo-life
Drown into night
Pass through the gate of sleep

I see faded colours
I see a landscape so calm

To live a life asleep... is to master mortality
I wander between these worlds
On a quest to find a key

When life seems to be lost
And death comes to my door
I vanish into a dream
Into a place so cold, yet warm

Within my flesh
A thorn is molesting my sleep
It's teasing me
Am I human after all?
(No)

Faded in dream
Beyond the wall of sleep
For the sleep of death
Is the most divine

Sandman, stab me in the back
Lord ego, punish me
Cleanse me from humanity
Reveal the fucking beast

I must drown the human ignorance
Deep in the lake of fire drink the wine
Sandman, stab me in the back
Lord ego, punish me

To live with a dream... is to master mortality
The quest to find a key... still lives
