Analysis of Eternal Slumber
Egg and Onion 2000 (...)
Ye who sleep will be at stake
Ye who sleep will never be awake
Soul of ye who sleeps at night
You will see the dark eats the light
A curse will be given for ye
Darkness will all ye see
A ghost of night will be awaken
Then the curse will about to happen
It's always beside you when you sleep
Might as well not to count some sheep
Don't ever sleep so long in bed
Or else the curse will be submitted
Eternal slumber will be given
For those who sleep while dreaming
Ye will not be awaken from your sleep
For the curse will eat your soul while you're at it.
