Deep Deep Dreams - Dan Bull

The Lotus flower opened, Tenno were now awoken

To a twisted solar system full of powerful opponents

Origin unknown though Orokin’s a familiar sounding omen

Now the only thing they know’s the sun above and ground below them

It’s seldom moments are this bountiful yet painful

This existence in the rift that splits

Our drowsy form from wakefulness

We’ve waited for who knows how long

And to which higher purpose

The tide just rises every time we try to find the surface

Sleep, sleep, deep, deep now

Between dreams we fell

Breathe, breathe in, breathe out

Sleep, sleep, deep, dream

Sleep, sleep, deep, deep now

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Between dreams we fell

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Breathe, breathe in, breathe out

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Sleep, sleep, deep, dream

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

The dragonlily opened while our gunslinger closed in

Steady hand, aim at the target, ain’t the time to feel emotion

She’s Mesa, peacemaker, shield breaker, fast

She’ll have you for breakfast, tea, pain, leave league tables flat

You put up a feeble fight to even a medieval knight

You’d be cleaved or sliced even though a moment

Before you’d feel alright

Excalibur, whoa, what a hell of a warrior

Carrying summoned exalted blades

Before slashing and dashing

And lobbing a javelin at any fools in the way

Wukong’s too strong, haven’t you heard the tea?

He’s a lapsang souchong

Don’t want smoke?

Don’t meet him down a dark alley

He’ll down a dark dragon like an oolong

No one can bring the funky thing as much as the monkey king

Except maybe the monkey twin

No guerrillas in their midst, see the monkey win

Sleep, sleep, deep, deep now

Between dreams we fell

Breathe, breathe in, breathe out

Sleep, sleep, deep, dream

Sleep, sleep, deep, deep now

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Between dreams we fell

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Breathe, breathe in, breathe out

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Sleep, sleep, deep, dream

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

From a frozen ocean, a rose arose and opened

Rode over rows and rows of waves in a flow state of motion

Hanging toes over the side, it’s so nice out, rise now

The turquoise surfer hurtles you towards a total wipe out

If you give her lip she’ll hit your lip until it’s split wide

So sit tight and let’s ride right into this rip tide

No manner of enemy tests the mariner wearing an elegant dress

Breathtaking yet never taking breaths

Just send you straight to the depths

Yareli want to be more careful

Speaking of breath loss, let’s talk Nekros

Every being’s susceptible to death

You all depend on the flesh not to rot

Death is a playground into which he’s dragging you straight down

Laid out face down in the wraith realm

Six feet beneath the grey ground

This music’s making a great sound

But you should wait for the breakdown

Give a great resounding round of applause for

Octavia playing that Mandachord

From the Corpus base that’s located on Neptune

Those are some banging chords, man, of course they’re great

What do you expect from her next tune?

Sleep, sleep, deep, deep now

Between dreams we fell

Breathe, breathe in, breathe out

Sleep, sleep, deep, dream

Sleep, sleep, deep, deep now

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Between dreams we fell

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Breathe, breathe in, breathe out

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

Sleep, sleep, deep, dream

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be

The Lotus flower closes, a potent power dozes

We seldom slow to smell the roses below our noses

So when I do, I sense a simple sentence scent that’s sent to me:

Dream not of what you are but of what you want to be
