Dreams. What are they really? And just exactly whence and by what means do we wander in sleep? And what does it mean? And who in the world is going to answer all these questions anyway? Ah, dear listener, the only one who can answer is you... Crum Crow invites you to join OraTorio Undead as they journey into the Dream.
lyrics
Phase I: Insomnia
I can never sleep
All these troubled thoughts they come to me
And I’m afraid they’ll spoil my dreams
When I lay down
And try to sleep
When I lay down
And try to sleep
Oh, I will barely breathe
As lying coffin deep I let true darkness cover me
My Nightmares lie in wait like eager thieves
When I lay down
And try to sleep
When I lay down
And try to sleep
Phase II: Invitation to the Dream
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Come with me
Into the dream
Oh come with me
Into the dream!
Woah, oh, oh
Come on
Woah, oh, oh
Come on
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Come on!
Phase III: Transformation
Unearthed into the light
Unearthed into new form
Unearthed into the hunt
Oh, with each bite of our Bloodmoon desire
Unearthed into the fire
Oh, unearthed into the stars
Oh, unearthed into new life
With each bite of our Bloodmoon desire
Unearthed into the light…
Phase IV: Eclipse
So another heart is slowly beating down the hours
Take me to that place that you once knew
Now as our lamps die out a shadow stalks the room
Accents the steps of our impending truth
You I know, oh, oh
And it shows, oh, oh
Misunderstanding breeds a beast within the soul
The path was wrong and then not there at all
Deny these chimes of change
Pretend we’ve time to waste
As we await our savior from the grave
You I know, oh, oh
And it shows, oh, oh
Sweat still fresh upon her shimmers boldly in the night
Sing songs to conjure spells of grand design
In my mind
In…my…mind…
Phase V: At Last
In my mind, I’ll always see
You there reaching out
To me
Oh, was I just
Oh, just chasing the dream
Just chasing the dream
Chasing the dream, dreamin’
Chasing the dream, dreamin’
Phase VI: As Morning Dawns
When I am calm
Here in the dark
I palm my these shards
Like fledgling sparks
I’ll see you then
When I sleep again
Cause all dreams hide
With morning’s light…
Phase VII: Farewell to the Dream
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
The dream is gone, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
The dream is gone
Woah, oh, oh
The dream is gone
Woah, oh, oh
The dream… is… gone!

We believe in the raw, ethereal power of music. Our passion is the dark, strange, terrible, and beautiful salvation from the
same. Song is the final sorcery, and we weave our incantations to give life to the dying, and speak for those gone. A little grunge, a frequency from Radiohead, with the recording style of the Misfits, and a healthy transfusion of Type O Negative. We are OraTorio Undead........more
Harnessing the raw power of thought provoking poetry and dark, yet poppy, creativity of sound, Sleeping at Last is worth waking up for... OraTorio Undead
Returning to the roots of old school pop-punk, we encourage you to check out "War Stories" from our friends at Man Made Bomb. Here, there's 5 for 5ighting! OraTorio Undead
