The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, sleeper
Awake from your sleep
Climb out of your coffin
Quick to listen and slow to speak
And I'll be the thorn in
Your side as long as you need
Wake the dead
Tonight, did I
Tonight, did I
Tonight, did I make the most of this
Tonight, did I
Tonight, or die
Tonight, or die
These are the worst of times
Oh, sleeper
Awake from your sleep
Climb out of your coffin
Quick to listen and slow to speak
And I'll be the thorn in
Your side as long as you need
Wake the dead
Tonight, did I
Tonight, did I
Tonight, did I make the most of this
Tonight, did I
Tonight, or die
Tonight, or die
These are the worst of times
Oh, sleeper
Won't you wake from your sleep?
Oh, sleeper
Don't you know, with blood comes cleansing?
