The Soul Must Sleep - Primordial

«I have crossed the seas, I have left cities behind me,

And I have followed the source of rivers towards their

Source or plunged into forests, always making for other

Someone to lie for…

I’ve drunk my fill of misery

It’s time to move on Restless and forgiving

It will lead me to the Grave

Let’s leave for other worlds

Leave the future behind

Here… my will has been spent

Let us depart

Before the night steals upon us The Wretchedness of another day

«The wish, the want, to stay in the dream state,

Can leaving this mortal coil be seen as a new

Departure?, or a return to a permanent dream state?

To feel to never want to wake.

For here my will has

Been spent…»
