I lay me down to sleep I think I might be dead
The master of dreams is laughing in my head
He is telling me that my life is his
And that he’ll keep my soul with the other kids
I hear his evil voice and I’m afraid and awed
He raises his right hand and tells me “This, is God”
Suffering
In this dream
Where I bleed
Open wounds
In his tomb
Boiler room
Don’t believe in him but he believes in you
Everything you fear a nightmare come true
Gaining all his strength with every soul he keeps
The next time you rest may be your final sleep
Getting so much joy from all the pain he brings
You’ll know it's your time when the children sing…
I am eternal
