The stench of something old stains the air where we live 
Has all that we've been told been a lie? 
Lifetime after lifetime I prepare to go on 
Once again somethings gone awry 

Why are you lying here bleeding in my arms? 
Why are you lying here bleeding in my arms? 
But you just got here why must you leave so soon? 
Why must you leave me by myself all alone? 

(oooh... ooooh... oooooh... oooh...)

The driver of the carriage said the storm's on it's way 
Man sometimes needs a purpose to survive 
Shout it from the rooftop with a lantern in your hand 
Does that crusade still make you feel alive? 

Why are you lying here bleeding in my arms? 
Why are you lying here bleeding in my arms? 
But you just got here why must you leave so soon? 
Why must you leave me by myself all alone? 

Welcome friends to the brotherhood of sleep 
Come one and all 
There's no fee you just dream your life away 
There's no pain here
