The Sleeper Lyrics by Slyleaf

XORIA: ‘The Sleeper’

2022

[Verse 1]
Careful, careful steps
You'd do well not to forget
Voices urgent (seven voices)
Like so many candles

Careful, careful steps
You'd do well not to forget
Voices urgent (seven voices)
Like so many candles

[Verse 2]
Nothing changes
Nothing grows
Sky is sinking
Heavy hopes

[Verse 3]
One by one, wretched vines
Eat away our tethered lives
Two by two, lifeless tools
Waste away by restless runes

[Chorus]
Bеware The Sleeper for shе waits
To twist the minds of those who take
Careful steps on wilted branches

[Bridge]
Seven eyes she lays upon
A crown of endless dreams
And when rivers flood beyond
The earth cries with their queen
Seven eyes she lays upon
A crown of endless dreams
And when rivers flood beyond
The earth cries with their queen

(Seven eyes she lays upon)
Ne-em lifsei latiu vun kinyei mya
(A crown of endless dreams)
Tu baloe yun
(And when rivers flood beyond)
Adi no vaya wi yun
(The earth cries with their queen)
(Seven eyes she lays upon)
(A crown of endless dreams)
Setiya
(And when rivers flood beyond)
Setiyu
(The earth cries with their queen)

[Chorus]
Beware The Sleeper for she waits
To twist the minds of those who take
Careful steps
Beware The Sleeper for she waits
To twist the minds of those who take
Careful steps on wilted branches
