Lyrics:
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Now I am her biggest fan
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town
Called you up to have a drink
Your roommate said you weren't around
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Behind the wall of sleep
Behind the wall of sleep
Behind the wall of sleep
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Now I am her biggest fan
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town
Called you up to have a drink
Your roommate said you weren't around
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Behind the wall of sleep
Behind the wall of sleep
Behind the wall of sleep
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn, burn, burn, burn down the mission walls
Now everybody, bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission, Lord
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission, Lord
If we're gonna stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn, burn, burn, burn down the mission walls
Now everybody, bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission, Lord
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission, Lord
If we're gonna stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
You tell me there's an angel in your tree
Did he say he'd come to call on me
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls
Pale faces twisted in pain
Their hollow eyes watching me
Shadows of the mutilated weep
I dare not to sleep
Days and nights I stay awake
With chemical eyes I greet the sun
Through darkness I waited
For the light to set me free
Insomnia, dementia
I hear the fallen angels sing
Die, die
Lunacy, blasphemy
I hear dying voices whisper
Kill, kill
Behind the wall of sleep
I hear myself scream
Behind the wall of sleep
The horrors beckon me
Feed the demons raging inside
Insomnia, dementia
I hear the fallen angels sing
Die, die
Lunacy, blasphemy
I hear dying voices whisper
Kill, kill, kill
Insomnia, dementia
I hear the fallen angels sing
Die, die
Lunacy, blasphemy
I hear dying voices whisper
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
BEHIND THE WALLS OF SLEEP
Never liked this world
Rejected it at three
Never liked the world
What it does to humanity
Blind guides who lead
Makes us all fools
Reducing our lives
To what we own
There’s another way to live
But you got to go deep
Find out who you are
Behind the walls of sleep
Days break, nights fall
And I wait alone
I sleep behind a wall
My silent call unknown
Create me
Create me
Take me in your hands and shape me
Wake me from this sleep to then begin again
To live again
Create me
Create me
Create me
Days break, nights fall
Each one the same
I wait behind a wall
To hear you call my name
Create me
Create me
Breathe your life into my soul
And know the greatest story told
Is you and I and how we tried
And how we won and what You've done
Creating me
How many seasons have we endured?
Days break, nights fall
And I wait alone
I sleep behind a wall
My silent call unknown
Create me
Create me
Take me in your hands and shape me
Wake me from this sleep to then begin again
To live again
Create me
Create me
Create me
Days break, nights fall
Each one the same
I wait behind a wall
To hear you call my name
Create me
Create me
Breathe your life into my soul
And know the greatest story told
Is you and I and how we tried
And how we won and what You've done
Creating me
How many seasons have we endured?
Behind the wall, he sleeps, and soon he will rise
Ancient one, great and strong, must be sundered
For the fate of our kind and our ways
For the sake of our kin and the sun's rays
From the woods comes a light
From the woods comes a light
You tell me there's an angel in your tree
Did he say he'd come to call on me
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls
Bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
I submerged myself for so many years
Hardened my heart I cried no tears
I was running away
I was trying to hide
Thought I knew myself but my truths were lies
My distorted sense of self left space for no one else
Behind the wall of sleep I felt safe and out of reach
A hole inside of me as deep as any sea
As dark as any pit, still I had to fill it in
She healed me and set me free
Gave me love and sweet release
Heal heal heal yourself
Reach out now to someone else
To someone else
Someone else
I met someone special, I fell in love
She knew I was sick but didn't let on
God gave me an english rose
To heal my heart and save my soul
Her love couldn't lift my sadness
I wouldn't let her in to share my darkness
Then she told me with a smile
She was carrying our child
A miracle it seemed
Would I care to share her dream?
I submerged myself for so many years
Hardened my heart I cried no tears
I was running away
I was trying to hide
Thought I knew myself but my truths were lies
My distorted sense of self left space for noone else
Behind the wall of sleep I felt safe and out of reach
A hole inside of me just as deep as any sea
Just as dark as any pit, still, I had to fill it in
She healed me and set me free
Gave me love and sweet release
Heal heal heal yourself
Reach out now to someone else
To someone else
(Someone else)
Met someone special, I fell in love
She knew I was sick but didn't let on
God gave me an english rose
To heal my heart and save my soul
Her love couldn't lift my sadness
I wouldn't let her in to share my darkness
Then she told me with a smile
She was carrying our child
A miracle it seemed
Would I care to share her dream?
Days they are passing by to fast
My mind It can no longer rest
I can hear the screams of my own pain
I don't feel the pumping in my veins
There is no place to go and nowhere I belong
Behind the wall of sleep I scream and carry on
The world outside is full of blind men in control
They live inside a dome and feel like they are home
Time is black and white and never lasts
Now is getting hard to find myself
Fading through the void and coming back
I feel like reality's a threat
There is no place to go and nowhere I belong
Behind the wall of sleep I scream and carry on
The world outside is full of blind men in control
They live inside a dome and feel like they are home
Trouble in my mind
Nowhere I can hide
Did he know he'd find you here
Behind that wall of sleep
Behind that wall of fear
Did he call out get in line
Did he call out from the shadows
All aboard the 309
Did you recognize his face
Did you know that train was headed
To a darker place
And did you feel his breathin' curse
Callin' down your sins
Mother Nature in reverse
Did you see a stranger
Or did you see a friend
Did he punch your ticket to the end
Or did you lean in closely
And whisper in his ear
Move along 'cause I'm not finished here
Was this the best that he could bring
Did you send him on his way
Did you ask where is thy sting
And when he saw that you weren't done
Did you turn the tables on him
Did you see him turn and run
Did you see a stranger
Or did you see a friend
Did he punch your ticket to the end
Or did you lean in closely
And whisper in his ear
Move along 'cause I'm not finished here
What you can't hear in this world
Let the spirits speak to you, let the spirits speak to you
What you can't hear in this world
Let the spirits speak to you, let the spirits speak to you
Let the spirits speak to you
Did he know he'd find you here
Behind that wall of sleep
Behind that wall of fear
They've come into this sphere
With (their) natural born fire
To spread and protect new found truth
No man is man more noble the the cause he fights (for)
From the heavens
From the abyss
From the depths of man
From the mind
From the heart
From the soul
In the day and hour of depression
Fate is on our side
The twilight is soon over
And heads are turned northwards
Behind the wall of sleep is and always was
From the heavens
From the abyss
From the depths of man
From the mind
From the heart
From the soul
The will to win and timeless strenght
Holy holy union made in hell
No dark force for you to overcome
From the heavens
From the abyss
From the depths of man
In dreams they're calling from another world
On a mission to accompany them, go girl
They're waiting for you in the dead of night
By the crossroads in the grove, it feels quite alright
Far away behind the walls of sleep
Oh, you're diving into the deep
You're on your way into another world
Another world
In the distance the clock tower strikes
They're guiding you to their own fireside
A silent crowd all peaceful and quiet
They're smiling at you, no one's left behind
Far away behind the walls of sleep
Oh, you're diving into the deep
Floating away into another world
Another world
Another world
Far away behind the walls of sleep
Oh, you're diving into the deep
You're on your way into another world
Another world
Awake to their world while you sleep
You maybe dreaming but you're in too deep
Another task in another world
Another world
Another world
Hey doctor tell me how can it be
our screams are so real and you, you live in harmony
you can't heal this cancer radiation will kill
your cult of flames behind the wall of sleep
impostor without knowing your beliefs been defiled
the flesh on them bones been scorched and burned
a downward spiral for your heresy inclined
you're pushing forward back your logic is reversed
constitution of murder
so legal and proud
institution of sadness
a lot of them died
blood pouring down from the back of your neck
you're being drowned of vitality's gift
like a serpant's tooth the venom penetrates
fight fire with fire and you fight back
intergrity and dignity for what it's worth
now pull your head out and act like a man
it seems like you never have been free
fight fire with fire ant then fight back
the symptoms of your illness
are beginning to fade
now tell me who's to blame
burn burn flame
A secret coliseum, a world of make believe,
this trap of time exalted behind your wall of sleep.
People worshiping beezlebub
Betraying god in the process
Watching as Satan sits there in his chair
As he smiles and laughs
Pentagram drawings everywhere
Pits of fire straight down to hell
People feasting on rat Salads
Murders, killers, psychopaths all live here
The pieces of shit rot in their prison cell
People questioning, "Is God Dead"
They don't know the truth
So they resolve to their fucked up ways
Yeah
The word "Peace" can't be found here."
Little do they know there is a better life behind the wall of sleep
There awakening as the bad moon rises
Voodoo child's rest here with their relatives
Satanic
The wall collapsed and lies there were broken
Sunshine comes in and you have awoken
Yeah
As she waits for him behind the wall of sleep
She's opened up her arms like some truth you can't believe
As that moon cast jealous glances at the ocean in your eyes
The daylight it disappears behind horizon and the skies
The only time you ever wanted to be alone
It's the only really time ever really wanted to be alone
While those waves rush in like a wolf among the sheep
And you're waiting there for him beneath those Mississippi trees
But you went under the coast
The waves and midnight skies
But you left your clothes on shore and disappeared with no goodbyes
The only time you ever wanted to be alone
The only time you ever wanted to be alone
I'll take what's mine
Oh I'm gonna get out here on your own
The lunar mother marks the path and show the child of man who have lost their way
An oath of blood, of spirit, of soul. The journey of life of death
Behind the wall of sleep are those who have built the wall to shield us from observing what we see in ourselves
Drowning in my memories so lost inside
Hiding behind this wall of sleep I designed
So lost in blame I feel no hope
I'm tired of chasing sides
How long till the end comes along
Will I ever know why I'm running away
Trying to forsake this desperate heart
Just to survive
This bitterness inside
Stuck into this place I know where nothing's changed
I wonder if I could have run away
So lost in time, so full of pain
I'm tired of being a stray
And how long till the end comes along
Will I ever know why I'm running away
Trying to forsake this desperate heart
Just to survive
This bitterness inside
How long till the end comes along
Will I ever know why I'm running away
Trying to forsake this desperate heart
Just to survive
Mystic summonings behind the wall of sleep
Veil of swirling fog
Realm behond all warmth and light
Let swords slice their path through the maze of rotten thoughts
And winds blow the dust
From forgotton memories
Once buried by the ashes
Of lost pride and strength
From the crypts of frozen flames
To the high majestic mountains
The throne of might is slumbering
Awakened now
By the wizards' summonings
Rebirth of dark infinities
As the silhouette of a pale moon's eye appears upon the throne
Gate to the highest of the old sorcerers' dreamworld
The essence reflecting in the mirror of time
Sparkling like the distant fires
Throughout the nightsky's frozen air
Dreamkings of immortal spheres
Throning in every warrior soul
Ride the wings of destiny
Fullfillment for the high divinity
That mirrors in the ancient runes
Writen in the shining
Sharpened silver blades
That guide the mighty throne
Beautiful weapons lie beside, once layed down by (the) ancient knights
Their circle crushed by treason
And the remaining proud ones gone through the moon gate
Into their grave beyond all shape
Now summoned again to a kingdom lost in lies
The throne of might is slumbering
Awakened now
By the wizards' summonings
Rebirth of dark infinities
Lead the blades in battles of the one law's might
Gather in the vast moonlit fields
From the forest of endless night
Receive the wizards' darkened spells
Never lost their strong belief
Proudly watched by the ancient sorserers'eye
For the kingdom of eternal shape will rise again
