Sleep - Skogen

Below the crystal moon’s fading

Where the sun has eternally failed

Awaiting the hour, the coveted hour

I leave the shores, slumbering pale

An exodus into darkness

On earthly soil I no longer walk

Discerning a presence arcane

I can hear the winds talk

Into eternal sleep

I now descend

Into eternal sleep

Here’s where it ends

In death I dwell

Deep into the unknown

On earth, merely a guest

A beckoning silence

Through the yonder to eternal rest

Into eternal sleep

I now descend

Into eternal sleep

Here’s where it ends

In death I dwell

I can see the waves of old

It is time for the final tide

Death has come, come to reap

Sending it’s envoy to guide

Shadows gather, Charon’s calling

Black is the river that runs deep

We set sail on forbidden waters

Dead but dreaming in eternal sleep

Into eternal sleep

I now descend

Into eternal sleep

Here’s where it ends

In death I dwell
