In the Arms of Morpheus

Let us learn 
    what we must 
   before going into 
the temporary death 
which is sleep 
The world continues to 
    to turn on its axis 
When you
see the dark angel 
  approaching
Don't hesitate - greet him with open arms 
Let us learn a little 
  form each descent into shadow 
Let us learn the power of light 
Which gives us life
Which gives us life
Let us learn about the source 
which gives us life
