Dead Asleep - Dream Theater

In a waterside village

In the heat of July

A man and his wife settled

Down for the night

In the morning

He woke to a horrible sight

It's all just so tragic

An unusual case

The violent result of

A fatal mistake

How can he be to blame

He was never awake

Wake up

What have I done

I was dead asleep

Wake up

Can you send someone

I'm not insane I was dead asleep

Scrambling in the darkness

In fear for his life

Certain a killer broke in

He fumbles for a weapon

Reaches for a knife

A sleepwalking murder begins

It was a vivid encounter

A realistic fight

And now he's got blood on his hands

He stands over the body

Sees it's his wife

A nightmare he can't understand

I must confess it was me

I needed to silence the screams

She suffered a brutal attack

A shockingly violent act

Wake up

What have I done

I was dead asleep

Wake up

Can you send someone

I'm not insane I was dead asleep

Out of my mind out of my body

Someone's been killed I am sorry

Out of control all out of answers

Maybe one day you'll forgive me

Wake up

What have I done

I was dead asleep

I must have been dreaming

I have no memory of anything

We strongly suspect

You're feeling a sense of despair

No one knows of the guilt that you bear

In the eyes of the law you are free

You are innocent
