Don’t fall asleep

To the weeping of the birds

Don’t fall asleep

In this room of the fallen

Don’t fall asleep

To the breathing of the walls

Don’t fall asleep

In this room of loss

Don’t fall asleep

In the arms of dead air

Don’t fall asleep

In this symphony of the damned

“Time stands still in this chamber of pain

The clock stops and the horror comes

The children cry and weep

In this room of the unforgiven

Lie down because you’ll never leave

Lie down, but don’t fall asleep”

The signs show slowly with the dark

They glow brighter as the shadows grow deeper

Blood marks on the walls and the ceiling and on the floor and the doors, oh how they flow!

Little voices like the whining of the birds

As the closet door opens

I still can hear them screaming

And the shape… Is it me on the piano?

Playing the symphony of the damned
