In a Manner of Sleep (Home demo) Songtext
von Funeral for a Friend

Why do we sleep, oh little one?
Forget the ringing bell
They won′t be dark for long
The sleep embrace the truth

All we left before we-
There's nowhere left to run
There′s nowhere left to hide
Time will steal another piece
From our hell
And time will tell

Light of where we lie
And where we fall
Light shine out
Over distant waiting walls
Tones strike out
Will fall back down
There'll ring out
A distant clear sound


Why do we sleep, oh little one?
Forget the ringing bell
And it won't be dark for long
The sleep embrace the truth

Nail us to the floor
The eye to be warned
The people lie

By the wicked night
As they pack the threats
Threat by threat

Light of where we lie
And where we fall
Light shine out
Over distant waiting walls
Tones strike out
Will fall back down
There′ll ring out
A distant clear sound

Embrace the truth!

We need a spark, not another dead match
We need a spark, not another dead match
We need a spark, not another dead match
Find the will to keep it burning!


Light of where we lie
And where we fall
Light shine out
Over distant waiting walls
Tones strike out
Will fall back down
There′ll ring out
A distant clear sound

A distant clear sound
A distant clear sound
A distant clear sound
A distant clear sound
