The Wall of Sleep - Aviators

Shapeless, shifting void

The sanctum of the weary and the paranoid

A source of untold fears

Helpless to observe

Beyond my understanding my own soul’s unnerved

With music to my ears

What horrors have I dreamt of

Will I shudder if I stare

Am I strong enough to transcend

Am I brave enough to dare

Is my fragile psyche faded

Have I sunken to the deep

The forbidden world allures me

Beyond the wall of sleep

Summoned now in rest

Both foolish and enlightened are unkindly blessed

To witness the obscure

Fleeting glimpse of death

The horrors still consume me with my every breath

A specter’s scar so pure

What horrors have I dreamt of

Will I shudder if I stare

Am I strong enough to transcend

Am I brave enough to dare

Is my fragile psyche faded

Have I sunken to the deep

The forbidden world allures me

Beyond the wall of sleep

Running wild in the night

In our dreams we take flight

But where to do we run

When the nightmare’s begun

Are these faces of mine

Or do they hide behind

The sleeping surface

Keys to know the unknown

Every life, every stone

But what soul pays the cost

When you learn from the lost

What awaits in the dark

If you dream with a spark

To invite a disturbance

What horrors have I dreamt of

Will I shudder if I stare

Am I strong enough to transcend

Am I brave enough to dare

Is my fragile psyche faded

Have I sunken to the deep

The forbidden world allures me

Beyond the wall of sleep
