lyrics

Never’s it been within my nature to pray
But in the dark of my bed at night things have changed
I once humbly trust’d my eyes closed,
But now my spirit, ill-composed
with reverential resignation and no wish conceives:

A dream in red, red
I picture you in red, red
I can see you in red, read like a story
With a desolate end

Last night I prayed aloud in anguish and agony,
Brought about by the fiendish crowd
of the shapes and the thoughts
of the nightmares that torture me:

I dream in red, red
I picture you in red, red
I know you in red, read like the story…
And you know the end.

A lurid light, a waiting throng,
A sense of intolerable wrong,
And behind the gate
those fueled by the pains of sleep
won’t be held prisoner for long.

Bled together, the night’s dismays
Sadden and stun each coming day.
And sleep, the wide blessing, has become a promise to me –
A promise of the worst calamity.

On the third night my own loud scream
Waked me from the fiendish dream…
