Sleep Of Despair Lyrics - Steel Prophet

I can see around me in this lucid state 

My own mind controls my real fate 

But if I wake from slumber, then returns despair 

Of the days depression, forgets the dreams I share 

If I sleep in peace do I loose my sin? 

Or does it linger to when the day begin 

I've been trying for so long now to avoid the crimes of mind 

The things I want, desire can it damn me from all peace 

I lie awake and pray for sleep to take the sorrow away for now 

In the dreams I'll find new hope, will hope ever cure my ills? 

I hear a woman's voice is calling 

A voice I've never heard 

I have no vision of her image 

My dread is growing, I don't know 

If I even care to wake up 

I know my fear will extend still 

The inner workings of my mind 

Can never sleep or calm my soul 

The troubled waters of my world 

Aren't consumed by restful sleep 

Now upon the mornings rising 

I find life's gauntlet carries on 

In a building with no doorways 

Escape can never be, reach out with emotion 

Despair my only love 

I find my way through the dreams of doom 

Despair reaches out in the black of night 

Embracing my life's dream 

I still resist/break the curse/my faith 

Will live/where hope denies my peace/ 

And through revealed/ in fragments of my mind/ 

My will exists/to roam the corridors of life 

I am the force, I've searched and sought so long 

My name is his through ancient dreams may now obscure
