He slumbers in bed while angels weep The distance is leagues and eons-long The pale moonlight is but a somber song On Raven wings, dreams take flight To the horizon edge, he sweeps To the gilded edge of creation, he glides Upon Oblivion his mind rides There are miles long, dark and deep, But he has promises to keep, Until then he shall not sleep. He languishes in bed while spirits weep While roads that are traveled less upon As the moon has a gossamer face On raven's talons secrets bleed On empires shores soon he goes Black sand between toes, seep He stands and stares into the face of divinity Miles are long. Darkness is deep, Nevertheless, he has promises to keep, Until then he shall not sleep. He reposes in bed while seraphim weep
