"For in that sleep... What dreams may come?"

 

Ah, but I know in my sleep

what dreams may come, 

they haunt me by day

as black as the sun

 

For with your love went a piece of me,

That part which allows me silent grace

so that I may stay sleeping peacefully

and after you I would not chase,

 

But you are gone and so am I

I am nothing but a trapped soul

It seems no matter how hard I try

I'll never fill the hole.

 

Death is brought on by sickness and strife,

But the pain you've given me is death within life.
