The Wall of Sleep Songtext
von Aviators

Shapeless, shifting void
The sanctum of the weary and the paranoid
A source of untold fears
Helpless to observe
Beyond my understanding
My own soul′s unnerved
With music to my ears

What horrors have I dreamt of?
Will I shudder if I stare?
Am I strong enough to transcend?
Am I brave enough to dare?
Is my fragile psyche faded?
Have I sunken to the deep?
The forbidden world allures me
Beyond the wall of sleep


Summoned, now in rest
Both foolish and enlightened
Are unkindly blessed
To witness the obscure
Fleeting glimpse of death
The horrors still consume me
With my every breath
A specter's scar, so pure

What horrors have I dreamt of?
Will I shudder if I stare?
Am I strong enough to transcend?
Am I brave enough to dare?
Is my fragile psyche faded?
Have I sunken to the deep?
The forbidden world allures me
Beyond the wall of sleep

Running wild in the night
In our dreams, we take flight
But where to do we run
When the nightmare′s begun?
Are these faces of mine?
Or do they hide behind
The sleeping surface?


Keys to know the unknown
Every life, every stone
But what soul pays the cost
When you learn from the lost?
What awaits in the dark
If you dream with a spark
To invite a disturbance?

What horrors have I dreamt of?
Will I shudder if I stare?
Am I strong enough to transcend?
Am I brave enough to dare?
Is my fragile psyche faded?
Have I sunken to the deep?
The forbidden world allures me
Beyond the wall of sleep
