time to close our eyes and drift away in an ever waking nightmare
lyrics
as sudden as the end, creeps up into my eyes
i see the skull reflecting back
i see, as suddenly as death becomes an extension of life
the other side of the coin
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
i cast it from my joint
begging the gods to understand
the worship we do
out of our hands, into the night
begging for sleep, to see the dreams
comatose state that keeps me awake
flowering in the dark of the night
feed off of the smoke
feed off of the ash
the dust fills my lungs
as sudden as the end, creeps up into my eyes
i see the skull reflecting back
i see, as suddenly as death becomes an extension of life
the other side of the coin
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
i cast it from my joint
death now is sudden, death now is what i see
give me one more chance, one more chance
to float here in dreams
mystical keep of knowledge that we seek
mystical eye open now
into my mind
receive the light, cleanse me of my sin
life waves goodbye to the wandering eyes
of the cast outs
we are floating now with life's dream
floating in space
my body aches with the knowledge I've received
grim phantoms circle me
i will give in to the dream
coma sleep
coma sleep
coma sleep
coma sleep
coma sleep
coma sleep
sleeping deep
coma sleep
sleeping deep
coma sleep
sleeping deep
coma sleep
sleeping deep
sleeping deep
coma sleep
coma sleep
coma sleep
coma sleep
