Sleep of the Righteous

from Wallflowers (2021)

Lyrics

The Rush Of Fear To Even SleepWith Just A Thread Of Hope I HaveWhat If I Simply Let It InOr Clench My Jaws And Take The Blow?
As I Lay I Slowly Fade AwayInto A Place Of Inevitability
And Why Is It Happening To Me?I’m Full Of Life But I Can’t Breathe
It Appears From The DarknessMy Body Burns In Its PresenceAs I Softly Sink Into The DreamThe Door Has Opened, I Can’t Resist
A Candle Placed Upon A Bedroom TableThe Storm Outside Defies To StopThe Room Grows Colder In Its PresenceI’m Not Your Fire, Let Me Burn!LET ME BURN!
I See Its Shadow, The Blackest BlackThe Widest Grin From Ear To EarI See Its Tail Like A SnakeI Feel Two Palms Upon My Back
Visions Spark Before My EyesLike A Forest FlameI Am Ready To Confess In Every CrimeI Never Did
And Why Is It Happening To Me?I’m Full Of Life But I Cannot Breathe
Scream And Shout Don’t Want To SoundMy Body Lost Its StructureI Swear I’ll Start To Believe In GodIf He Could Give Me Rapture!
The Lifelong Terror, Half-Time DreamEternal Minutes Feel SurrealI Plead My Saviour To Release MeThe Saviour I Call WILL
What Has Just Happened To Me?I Was Dragged To Hell, But Now I’m Free!
