In a moment of slumber
when the dusk is come
And faded becomes the sound of the clock
And all that is left is the stillness of the sea
And a dark cloud with nothing to see
And the cold wind blows from the east
And it creeps on your skin
And it awakens the one within
And the struggle to fit back in begins
Then comes the one with the scythe
And the bargain begins
And then you wonder
How in a moment of slumber
The joy in you becomes somber
The peace you had wandered
The love you gave mumbered
Wondered, your soul lurks
Then the tick stops
Still, you finally become
Gone, not longer with us
Only in a moment of slumber
