The Slumber

Step by step We trudge on On this scarlet road Adrift and immured Keen and uncured Grimly walking the will of the one One foot in front of the other one On this steep road paved with our blood Step by step we march a long walk And breath by breath we just plough on And I long to wake Come up for air But we stagger in slumber Sleepwalking and lost The long march we wander Dreaming of the promised land And mocked by the death knell at hand One truth after the other one Given and served we swallow down Day by day we drink the blood of our sons So they will walk this road again But we stagger in slumber Sleepwalking and lost The long march we wander Dreaming of the promised land And mocked by the death knell at hand Whitedreaming One, two! One, two! Forlorn, march! Linewalking Lift your eyes I can see the light March on, march on Lift your eyes You can see it too March on voidwards Lift your eyes I can see the light March on, we march on Lift your eyes You can see it too March on voidwards And I long to wake Come up for air But we stagger in slumber Sleepwalking and lost The long march we wander Dreaming of the promised land But we stagger in slumber Sleepwalking and lost The long march we wander Dreaming of the promised land And mocked by the death knell at hand
