I sleep 10,000 years each night I close my eyes
On waking I shiver, the nightmare yet lingers.
The horrors that lie in a dream's thin disguise,
I sleep 10,000 years each night I close my eyes
In spite of the wisdom shown by the wise
I sweat and I tremble and gnaw on my fingers.
I sleep 10,000 years each night I close my eyes
On waking I shiver, the nightmare yet lingers.
