Lullaby Of Insanity

Here, where clouds paint the sky
A canvas of pitch black darkness
All voices silenced, except those in my head

No nightmare can compete
This sick melody, my lullaby
The last thing that I need
A sickening melody of insanity

Here, where night is all and everything
And sleep is so much desired, so much
To shut down the voices in my head

Hear, the voices arrived again
A panorama of ghosts and ghouls
On an ailing parade in my head

Hear their cries, calling my name again
Tragic echoes of my dire past
When silence is all I need in my head

Shut down! End this masquerade of pain
Shut down! This call to the insane
Shut down! I plead, I beg, I crawl, I crave
Shut down! End this lullaby of insanity

To sleep is to live
We need it like air
To live is to die
First rule of life
And I, I die to sleep
Every night again
Yet these haunted moments
When we sail away
When we empty our head
These dreadful moments
Take my breath away
And panic rules
When the hour is nigh
As for me
To go to sleep is to die

End this masquerade of pain
This call to the insane
I plead, I beg, I crawl, I crave
End this lullaby of insanity
And sink into oblivion
