Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one don't forget, my son to include everyone tuck you in, warm within keep you free from sin till the sandman he comes sleep with one eye open gripping your pillow tight exit light enter night take my hand off to never never land something's wrong, shut the light heavy thoughts tonight and they aren't of snow white dreams of war, dreams of liars dreams of dragon's fire and of things that will bite sleep with one eye open gripping your pillow tight exit light enter night take my hand off to never never land now I lay me down to sleep pray the lord my soul to keep if I die before I wake pray the lord my soul to take hush little baby, don't say a word and never mind that noise you heard it's just the beast under your bed, in your closet, in your head exit light enter night grain of sand exit light enter night take my hand we're off to never never land

Of Wolf And Man

Off through the new day's mist I run off from the new day's mist I have come I hunt therefore I am harvest the land taking of the fallen lamb off thruogh the new day's mist I run off from the new day'smist I have come we shift pulsing with the earth company we keep roaming the land while you sleep shape shift nose to the wind shape shift feeling I've been move swift all senses clean earth's gift back to the meaning of life bright is the moon high in starlight chill is the air cold as steel tonight we shift call of the wild fear in your eyes it's later than you realized shape shift nose to the wind shape shift feeling I've been move swift all senses clean earth's gift back to the meaning of life I feel I change back to a better day hair stands on the back of my neck in wildness is the preservation of the world so seek the wolf in thyself shape shift nose to the wind shape shift feeling I've been move swift all senses clean earth's gift back to the meaning of wolf and man

My Friend of Misery

You just stood there screaming fearing no one was listening to you they say the empty can rattles the most the sound of your voice must soothe you hearing only what you want to hear and knowing only what you've heard you you're smothered in tragedy you're out to save the world misery you insist that the weight of the world should be on your shoulders misery there's much more to life than what you see my friend of misery you still stood there screaming no one caring about these words you tell my friend before your voice is gone one man's fun is another's hell these times are sent to try men's souls but something's wrong with all you see you you'll take it on all yourself remember, misery loves company misery you insist that the weight of the world should be on your shoulders misery there's much more to life than what you see my friend of misery you just stood there screaming my friend of misery

The Struggle Within
