Behind the Wall of Sleep Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Visions cupped within the flower
Deadly petals with strange power
Faces shine a deadly smile
Look upon you at your trial
[Verse 2]

Turns your body to a corpse
[Verse 3]
Now from darkness, there springs light
Wall of sleep is cool and bright
Wall of sleep is lying broken
Sun shines in, you have awoken
