Song lyrics

Every now and then it seems to me
That there is greatest danger lying hidden in the depths of sleep...
Saddest the wanderer who is travelling here
For far too often or just longer than his mortal mind would bear

From the other world he can never fully return
After the passing of a certain period of time
As the forces of the other side are with him all the while
Are surrounding his mind, as they are with him all the while

Obscuring his mind, his spirit, they chain him to this place or state:
Mind and body will become lethargic, listless and inert
And then, driven by his wounded soul
He will be longing for nothing more except the end itself...
For darkness... and for death

Every now and then it seems to me
That there is greatest danger lying in the depths of sleep...
Saddest the wanderer who is travelling here
For far too often or just longer than his mind would bare
