Sleep came Like an ornery guest Came late, left early And brought bad company Within the wellless keep of Somnus Ghostlike memories arise from the moat The vast ballroom is a courtyard Figures sway in abussic grace Sleepless in sleep Infernal revenants They scream, accuse Insane Visions from the looking glass Bear a truth obscene A sick libertto And here they speak The silent dead They echo through the labyrinth They stare in through the windows Towering fears Ethics reversed In morbid choreography Inverted lights flicker Mimetic landscapes Dissonant chords All out of measure An ensemble defunct Sleepless in sleep Infernal revenants They scream, accuse Insane As daylight draws The music ends But the silence is not real I know they will return
