The daylight recedes
In unison, this room
Buries the hours
Like death, in motion
Nobody else can pull me out
The fields of elation quiet and loamy
Your name is a sin
I breathe, like oxygen
Caught in the careless
Arms, of lust again
Nobody else can pull me out
The fields of elation quiet and loamy
Nobody else can pull me out
The fields of elation quiet and loamy
I’m losing my faith in our lives apart
In the description of the video, there was additional early lore provided.

This being once held great power, bestowing ancient civilisations with the gift of dreams, and the curse of nightmares.
Even today, though faded from prominence, ‘Sleep’ yet lurks in the subconscious minds of man, woman, and child alike. Fragments of beauty, horror, anguish, pain, happiness, joy, anger, disgust, and fear coalesce to create expansive, emotionally textured music that simultaneously embodies the darkest, and the brightest abstract thoughts. He has seen them. He has felt them. He is everywhere.
Sleep Token, led by the perpetually tormented, supremely talented Vessel, creates music that brings to the fore our most submerged thoughts and feelings, coaxing them from the desolate, terrifying caves of our subconscious mind.
