Mist came after the thunder Sleep came to us all All the children Lay in a row wrapped in cloth Like cocoons waiting the bu*terfly That would never come The sandman; his evil eye Wrapped in smiles and trimmed suit; cold He came and we slept Never awakened as you looked on No one looked, no one saw Our nightmares run wild in the streets
Sleep peaceful in your bed The numb and blind always sleep peaceful You shall always awake from your dream The sun shall always rise Morning will always come But not for us We shall never wake up And as we lie side by side No one looked No one came No one cared We are gone and never return From the sandman's sleepy mist
