The End - Awake? lyrics

Oh baby, borne just yesterday The world has been waiting for a new child crying the future A tomorrow that may never ever come Today is the day to take If you can last that long and run Down in (to) your fate Down and on to face The pitfalls and trials that may lie across The breaking path of your wake The sordid taste of sensuality Mixed with the salt of another's sweat Innocence won't ever leave your bedside Precious, you're of virtue limitless Are you awake? Your worst nightmares aren't just your dreams So feel secure when you sleep Pain is a gift of pleasure's will To be borne and reveled in Dusk was always upon you my darling Swallow the light with open eyes For soon the night will headline So when the world you knew has left you With aches and distant memories So many you have loved have gone before you Most without soliloquies Be brace and be human Be fairy-tale valiant The stage is set, the lights are dimming And so begins the final scene Goodnight and sweet dreams
