Asleep

The bed-sheets soak up my tears

As I fall asleep

At the closing of my eyes, out come my fears

Underneath the mirror of my fantasy, they creep


Shadows in the dark

Feelings in the deep

I fear that waking spark

As ghosts sing me to sleep


I catch a glimpse of the fires

Hollow screams of the dead

Coming from the bodies on the pyres

And from underneath my bed


Lay down next to me

Don't worry when I scream

Just close your eyes

And fall asleep for me
