It's a lonely sleep that takes me And silence' black embrace that breaks me And calls me by name I've been here before, I'll be here again It's a lonely sleep that takes me And not a man on earth can wake me In dreams divine Spirit blessed, souls entwined You tell me there's a river, but I see no way across And you say the mind's the builder, but my mind has long been lost
And all around me souls are racing toward Arcturus' shores And cascading back to earth to be reborn once more I don't know how to live, without an end in sight This fear that paralyzes, every waking night It's a lonely sleep that takes me It's a lonely sleep that takes me It's a lonely sleep that takes me
