Against the siege of battering days, Stone walls do not a fortress make Why so dull and mute, old sinner? Why in blackest midnight do you lie awake? Raven wings, ebony blades High-browed rocks of brooding shade Dawn of dappled rising weaves The twisting path of destiny Morpheus train, Morpheus train Once again to feel no pain Winds and whispers, lulled to sleeping Far from throngs with hungry eyes Where towered cities lie deceiving The given all, the elusive prize Morpheus train, Morpheus train Once again to feel no pain Such things that youthful poets dream of Now gone to dust in the hourglass The tap of sweetness long drawn out To brood on follies long since past Morpheus train, Morpheus train Once again to feel no pain Morpheus Train (lyrics William Loveless, 2006)
