Slumber watcher till the spheres
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolved and i return
To the place where now i burn
The veil wears thin, the years come crowding in
The veil wears thin, the years come crowding in
Younger stars in time shall rise
To the axis of the skies
Stars that sooth, stars that bless
Mankind with forgetfulness
Only wen my round is o're
Shall the past disturb thy door
The veil wears thin, the years come crowding in
The veil wears thin, the years come crowding in
Who were you the last time you lived
Who were you the last time you lived
Who were you the last that time you lived
Who were you the last time you lived
Those visions caught in dream
Can be truer than they seem
And when the warnings scream
Best believe them
There are memories you keep
Beyond the wall of sleep
And you must go diving deep
To retrieve them
Who were you the last time you lived
Who were you the last time you lived
Who were you the last that time you lived
Who were you the last time you lived
So close your waking eyes
And picture endless skies
What chants you memorize
Best begin them
Whatever may come by
Judge with a thoughtful eye
Even fantasy and lie
Have truth within them
The veil wears thin, the years come crowding in
The veil wears thin, the years come crowding in
Slumber watcher till the spheres
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolved and i return
To the place where now i burn
Only wen my round is o're
Shall the past disturb thy door
Who were you the last time you lived
Who were you the last time you lived
Who were you the last time you lived
Who were you the last than time you lived
