Dead Mans Dream Lyrics

    As i lay down dying, a floor for my bed
    And a bundle of newspaper under my head
    I dreamed a dream, as strange as could be
    Concerning myself, and somebody like me

    We were in some city, the stranger and me
    The houses were open, and the streets empty
    The windows were bare, and the pavements dirty
    I asked where i was; my companion ignored me

    We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone
    The graves were disturbed, and the coffins wide open
    And the coprses were rotten, yet each one was living
    Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling

    I cried out in fear, but my voice had left me
    My legs were deformed, yet i moved quite freely
    My head was on fire, yet my hands were icy
    And everywhere light, yet darkness engulfed me

    I managed to scream and woke from my slumber
    I thought of my dream and lay there and wondered
    Where had i been? what could it mean?
    It was dark in the deathroom as i slithered under
