We dream - it is good we are dreaming lyrics

We dream - it is good we are dreaming -

It would hurt us - were we awake -

But since it is playing - kill us,

And we are playing - shriek -

What harm? Men die - externally -

It is a truth - of Blood -

But we - are dying in Drama -

And Drama - is never dead -

Cautious - We jar each other -

And either - open the eyes -

Lest the Phantasm - prove the mistake -

And the livid Surprise

Cool us to Shafts of Granite -

With just an age - and name -

And perhaps a phrase in Egyptian -

It's prudenter - to dream -
