about

This one is another concept track, based on Greek Mythology and the tribe of the "lotus eaters" .The lotus fruits and flowers were the primary food of the island and were a narcotic, causing the inhabitants to sleep in peaceful apathy. After they ate the lotus, they would forget their home and loved ones, and only long to stay with their fellow lotus-eaters. Those who ate the plant never cared to report, nor return.

lyrics

SLEEP AND DREAM
Lyrics: McKittrick
Music: Kamburov

Under a waning star
Lies a hollow earth
The red in the sky
Presages the coming gloom
No prayers escape our lips
Worship only decay
Smile as the noose slips
Let the dread chord play

We eat of the lotus
As it all slips away
We didn't notice
The dying of the day

Sleep and dream
Sleep and decay

Raise sails and plot our course
Towards distant shores
Look back and feel remorse
Sleep under strange new stars
No prayers escape our lips
Worship only decay
Smile as the noose slips
Let the dread chord play

This strange new sorrow
From nightmare slithers
No time to borrow
The season of wither

Sleep and dream
Sleep and decay
