He came to me inside a dream, it was the shade of myself I had seen
When I walked through the temple of love, I felt like a stranger inside
A loner was pointing the way, choosing which road I must take
I gazed the old man in the eyes and his presence made me realize
It was the reaper who’d come for me. Like a prisoner caught in a dream I was
Painting the temple of love, with bloodstains from the white feathered dove

And when the storm arrived I knew the end was near
And when the second came, my fate began to clear
What is the meaning? When I’m awake I’m dreaming
Dead or asleep; between the devil and the deep
I followed the road I had found and to the ocean of death I arrived
Where thousands of millions had drowned, forever in darkness enbound
The reaper now stood on the shore, pointing the new way to go
Inside the ocean of death you will find, your true self in the waves of our kind

And then I saw his face, deep down in the sea
And when the gazed at me, and tried to pull me in
What is the meaning? When I’m awake I’m dreaming
Dead or asleep; between the devil and the deep
In the middle, between the devil and the deep
Can you see me, between the devil and the deep
In the middle, between the devil and the deep
Can you see me, between the devil and the deep
I followed the road I had found and to the ocean of death I arrived
He came to me inside a dream, it was the shade of myself I had seen
