Insomnia - a Prelude To Lethargica

It's so hard So cruel This night Will never end Another dark world Stretching on to Eternity I've been here before Night after night after night after night And it's never any Easier I wait Forever I'm always waiting The creation That follows Is not Enough solace For the sleepy State I suffer Without respite Without release Into that World I know awaits me I'll never Be free Of this curse And a chemical Release Is denied me The strongest Toxins Cannot free Me I'll never sleep Again I'm trapped Here In the infinity Of night No dreams No reflection No purpose As time has all But Frozen To torment me Night after night after night after night As pale summer dark And insensitive Singing Birds Belie the true depth Of the Hour And it's so hard So cruel And I begin to wonder If I will ever see The beauty of Dreaming Again
