He walks alone, his hand in hand... Through town of twilight, sowing finest sand Embrace the fear and close your empty eyes The endless sleep? Now try it on for size! You know you're dead, and in this d**h you weep... But morning comes, and ends the endless sleep A gray-haired dream that never ends nor lies Sand in the Sandman's ever-sleeping eye
To sleep, to calmly walk the path of dreams... It's whispers of deceit you hear, not screams Since owls are almost never what they seem In dreams your deeds will never be redeem'd Sit very still and wait for it to come 'Till everything inside you has turned numb Embrace the fear and close your empty eyes The endless sleep? Now try it on for size!
