What has plagued this nightmare's seams?
(Just sleep, Just sleep)
What has put this out of reach?
(Don't fight, don't fight)
Do not blink or you may see
(Let's sleep, Let's sleep)
Light before you, you have reached
(The light, the light)
This heart is beating out of time
The pulse is harder not to fight
Help this sorry face
Make his final flight
Beating out of pace
Heartbeat die, die, die
This heart is beating out of time
This heart is beating out of time
But wait it's what keeps me alive
This heart is beating not.
