Falls of Sleep

There's treachery that awaits us
Under the falls of sleep, a false oasis
Where they face us all up against the wall
Leave us begging for the coup de grace
To deliver us mercy 'til dawn

High moon shines with the darkness
And a changeling's metamorphosis
With a force that pulls toward disaster
Against the push of a puppet master
That brings us to our knees until the dawn

What are we more than nerve and bone
With a heart hewn against a grindstone?
But all we seek is mercy until dawn
Yes, and all we seek is mercy 'til dawn

Against your mutiny, we're too weak to punish
The seventh time your sword is brandished
So we thrust ourselves upon its point
Begging for nothing more than to reach its joint
And deliver us mercy until dawn
And deliver us mercy until dawn
And deliver us mercy 'til dawn
And deliver us mercy 'til the dawn
